...murderous Arab-Jewish dispute over Palestine in the past ten weeks has left 1,700 Arabs, Jews, British soldiers and police dead or wounded. Into this bloody mess last week stepped the figure of Seyyid Tawfik al Suwaidi, Foreign Minister of Iraq. Invited to London by the British, Seyyid Tawfik conferred last week with the only Jew in the Chamberlain Cabinet, War Secretary Leslie Hore-Belisha, and with Scottish Colonial Secretary Malcolm MacDonald. Seyyid Tawfik then proffered a plan. Ignoring Britain's original idea of partition, he proposed that Palestine be set up as an independent state under British...
Merely the thought of Hitler's treatment of German Jews makes his protest of Czechoslovakia's discrimination against the Sudetens seem like a hypocritical fabrication. It was the removal of subversive elements that were threatening the unity of the state that Hitler claimed to be the purpose of the rout of the non-Aryans from Germany (it seems that he considers every Jew a Communist and every Communist a Jew). On the other hand, if questioned about the Poles in German Silesia, he would reply that they were more German than Polish, and hence should continue to live under...
Typical of what was happening in millions of minds was the reaction of M. Leon Blum, Socialist leader of the most influential party in France and the only Jew ever to become its Premier.

Although these demands had just been ''unanimously...
...last week, more than 40% of Germany's traveling salesmen, 110,000 out of 265,000, were Jews. Despite Nazi antiSemitism, many large German firms have preferred to retain Jewish salesmen because, although officially scorned and often individually spat upon, they have managed to outsell Aryan competitors, Last week the Government decided that after October 1 all traveling salesmen in Germany must be Aryans, decreed that the licenses of all Jewish sales representatives in the Reich, which expire this week, cannot be renewed. These licenses correspond to the labor permits issued by the Labor Front, which every employe, German...
...Most Jews consider themselves lucky if they can get across the border with 6%-8% of their original possessions. A Jew of moderate circumstances desiring to leave Germany must first surrender 25% of his capital. Then, after he has liquidated the rest of his assets, generally at considerable loss, he must either buy German goods for his personal use abroad (and pay 100% tax) with the remainder or accept German blocked-marks in exchange, since Nazi currency restrictions forbid the export of more than $12-$24 in cash after payment of passage. These blocked-marks may be sold only...
