NAZIS AND JEWS

■ POSITION SERIOUS SUICIDES STILL OCCUR. lUaited Press Association—By Flectrio Telegraph—Copyright; LONDON, October 27. Mr Bernays, Labour member ot tile Commons tor North Bristol, summarising in the “Contemporary nev.ew," the result of three weens’ investigation m Germany, declares that the ferocity oi the anti-Jewish drive is being intensified. Whole families are workless, and suicides are increasing. The ant,-Jewish boycott is not slackening though beatings have enormously diminished. The Jews are not interned as Jews, but as opponents of the Government. Some Nazi leaders had revolted and told him that th e worst atrocities were the Government a-egulatifons to deprive Jews ot a livelihood. The suicides in pre-Hitler days were nothing as compared with those now occurring. A Jew had less chance cf employment in Germany than a convict in England. England, he says, should maintain moral pressure, and officially boycott German goods, and assist Jewish migration. MOVEMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA. INSULTS OFFERED TO JEWS. CAPETOWN, October 27. Sponsored by Germans, an anti-Jew-ish movement has been launched by the Nationalist-Socialist organisation here. Rabbi Bender disclosed the extent ot the campaign to-day. Insulting printed slips had been pasted in library books and on the seats of railway carriages, doors and shop windows, while swastikas and the skull and crossbones were pasted on Jewish houses. The Rabbi alleges that the killing of Jews was advocated at a- private meeting and that Jews fear that the unemployed will be misled into resorting to extreme measures. The Rabbi urges that the campaign be declared illegal.
