Ousting Of Jews To
 Go On Says Berlin
tContinued from Page 1)

I-estimated at 1eO,Ooo since 1914 I have risen to positions of com mercial and financial power. The Nazis contend that immi- Jews are involved in most of the postwar corruption and scandals | in Germany. That is one of the
 Nazis' most effective weapons against the Jews.
 The preponderance of Jews in
 municipal and state hospitals,
 many of which have more than 50 per cent Jewish staffs, as well as
 the heavy postwar incursions in the legal, educational, administra- tive and cultural fields, also is re. sented by the Nazis.
 The success of the Jews in such directions as well as the obvious commercial potency of the race Nazi propagandists assert that Jews own or control 62 per cent of the residential and business prop erty in Berlin-is bitterly con- trated with unemployment and
 hunger among millions of others in Germany. The Nazis seemingly
 are convinced that virtually all
 of the 600,000 Jews in Germany
 are well fed and have good posi- tions.
 Tn. the first burst of ultra-na. tionalism in celebration of the vic- tory of the Hitlerites in the elec- ton, individual storm troops ad- mittedly harassed Jews against whom they held personal griev-- ances. During that period of roughly, 10 days ago, humiliation of Jews unquestionably was wide- spread, and there were numerous instances of violence. The conse- quence was the frightened exodus of thousands of Jews whose stories led to the belief abroad that the Nazis were conducting a merciless pogrom.
 The government realized the necessity of curbing such indivi- dual action, mad issued an impera-- tive command for discipline and order which generally was obeyed.
 The governments firm policy in this respect manifestly does not mean that the Nazis will abandon the Fundamental, anti-semitic plank in their program. But the campaign henceforth will be con- ducted by propaganda and the con- tinued removal of Jews from pub lie positions through constituted authorities, just as socialists and communists generally are being re- moved.

Berlin, March 27 = (U.P.) --- Retalitory measures against Jews in Germany were decided on by the Nazi party to-day to balance the "atrocity propaganda" being cir- culated in foreign countries.
 The government, 1t was under stood, is prepared to countenance retaliation in exact ratio to the extent foreign governments coun- tenance the atrocity propaganda.
 Retaliation will take the form of a boycott of Jewish goods and shops. a sharp reduction of the number of Jewish students per- mitted at German universities, and curtailment of the licenses grant, ed to practicing Jewish physicians and lawyers. The licenses would be limited to the proportion of the Jews to the German population, which is less than one per cent.
 The campaign will be encour- aged by mass meetings and news paper articles which will keep the anti-Semitism question alive.
 It will be put into effect as soon as possible. Reports from Munich indicated special campaign com- mittees would be formed to-mor- row to start @ wave of propaganda "to enlighten the nation about the facts of the role the Jews play in Germany"
 The retaliation campaign was the direct result of weekend con- versations at Berchtesgaden, in the Bavarian Alps, between Chancellor Adolf Hitler and Dr Paul Goebbels, propaganda minister.
 The latter urged that it was im- perative to counteract the atrocity propaganda abroad. It was decided the government had done all that was officially possible, so that it would be best for the Nazi party to take over the campaign.
 Nazi leaders contended the campaign is strictly within Illegal bounds" and is meant in retaliation against the instigators of the atrocity campaign abroad, mostly Jews who fled from Germany.

In the Chesnovich case, the plaintiff alleges she was descending the stairs in the defendants six family block at 70 Congress ave- nue on February 9th, when she tripped and fell from the second landing to the ground floor suffer- ing severe and permanent injuries.
 She alleges she had just visited friends on the third floor. She suf- fered a fractured left knee in which b1od poisoning set in and after coursing through her body, settled in the right knee. She charges that with other bruises and contusions she was rendered permanently injured and will be required to spend considerable sums for medical and hospital care. The defendant is charged with negligence in that she failed to keep the stairways in safe condition and because the hallway was unlighted.
 In the second suit 1t is alleged that Lillian R. Wagner mortgaged the plaintiff as security for a $4,- 800 loan on october 6. 1880. It is charged that the interest install ment due April 6, 1892 has not been paid. The plaintiff asks in addition. that a receiver be ap- pointed for the collection of rents.

 These peace-time soldiers are all single men. The primary aim of the undertaking is to solve the problem of the transient unemploy- ed, the men who drift about the country on freight trains and on foot, bounded from city to city, from province to province, un- wanted everywhere. The married man presented less of a difficulty, since municipalities had to recog- nize his claims as citizen. But the transient single man became an Ishmae1ite on the face of the land.
 They are picked men, for the au- thorities everywhere had thousands of applicants from whom to choose the few they could employ. They were picked for their physical fit- ness and adaptability to manual la- bor.
 When the Bennett government considered this experiment, it de- cided that military organization and control would bring the most efficient results. The project was handed over to the department of national defense, the military train- ing activities of which have been sharply restricted recently in the interests of economy.

 In due course 2,500 jobless men, most of them youths, came under military discipline and settled down to a life similar to that of a labor battalions during the great war.
 Camps are being operated at Princeton, Salmo, Kitchener, Yakh and Cranbroko in British Colum- bia; Lac Du Bonnet, Winnipeg, Sioux Lookout, Vermillion Bay, and Rennie in Manitoba; Arm- strong Camp Creek, Nakinno, Gil- lies, Camp Borden,and Trenton in Ontario; Quebec, Megantic, and Bishops Crossing in Quebec; Fred ericton Junction, Upper Rockaway | and St John in New Brunswick; Halifax, Nova Scotia. At Quebec and Halifax the work battalions are billeted in Canada's oldest military works - citadels with centuries of history behind them. Here their task is repairing the crumbling fortif1ca- tions and restoring them to some- thing of their old impressiveness. Several of the other points have for years been the sites of militia train ing camps.
 The numerical strength of the individual companies ranges from fifty to 250 men. It Is estimated that the dominion government has spent about $125,000 on the scheme.

 Mir Templeton spoke on I'm portant Factors in Every day Bus mess" He began by praising the state of Connecticut "for standing out in every particular" "The de- precision, he said, 'is no fault of our condition.

Commissioner of
 Banks to Act
(Continued from Page 1)

Waterbury as receiver for the Mer- chants Trust Co.,, and the Water bury National Bank as receiver for the Sanditz & Traurig and Kaze- mekas & Co., banks. It will also mean the retirement of the Nau- gatuck National Bank as receiver for the Naugatuck Bank & Trust Co.
 The bill gives authority to the state bank commissioner to take over the duties ol all bank re- ceiverships and bring about the liquidation of the insolvent banks assets.
 The bill also gives authority to the bank commissioner to appoint deputies or agents to assist him in the liquidation of any banks as- sets. It might develop, should the bill pass, that the bank commits sioner would reappoint each of the Waterbury bank receivers to assist him in the receivership conduct.
 Whether the local bank receiv- CTS would be willing to accept the propositions remains a question.
 It is known fact that the Cit- izens & Manufacturers National Bank only accepted the receiver ship of the Merchants Trust upon request. Whether it would con- tinue, should the bank commits sioner be given the receivership and provided he requested it to do so. will be Q question.
 It is expected that the employees now working at the Merchants Trust Go. would be kept on until the bank commissioner or his dep uties, could take over the position with full knowledge of the affairs of the company.
 The bill further provides that all receivers be paid for the amount of work they have accomplished during their tenures in the receiv- ership positions.

The Jews who already have been busted were put out because they were morally and politicall, unfit to safeguard German inter ests.'
 Asked the basis of the current wave of anti-semitism in Germany Dr Hanfstaengl said:
 "In the last IA years Jewry has achieved positions of influence which it has grossly misused nor. ally, financially and politically 1T an tinheard Of manner, with the result that the German people crumbled morally, financially and politically.
 "The same Jewry now is seek ing to smirch Germany's renais- sance.
 "Anti-semitism is not based on strictly religious grounds and $ not directed against the Jewish faith as such. However. all Ger man Christians resent and de- nounce the fact that the Jews have been the chief advocates of Atheism. They have influenced the workers children through the communist youth organizations, o1 which they are the leading spirit | to abstain from divine service m Christian schools. Briefly the Jews methodically have destroyed and rendered de. spicable what was holy to the Ger mans.
 "What happens now is the re- suit of Jewish Goddess propaganda.
 "The Jews are less than one per cent of the Geramn population. l am convinced they acted extremely unwisely in spreading atrocity lies. The fact remains that not a single has been killed"
 pr Hanstaengl was asked for his statement by the United Press in the course of a canvass of well-in. formed suorces among the Nazi (Hitlerite) followers as well as authoritative neutral opinion as to the cause, extent and purposes Of the anti-Jewish activities in Ger many.
 The result indicated that the movement was essentially political and racial.
 Nazis charged that the Jews were mostly communists and so- cialists. They pointed to hundreds of instances where Jewish homes were raided and communist propa- ganda and sometimes weapons were found.
 Before the war Jews were banned from holding influential official positions, but they rode tn- to office on the tide of the social ist revolution. Now they are gen. orally held responsible with the so- cialists and other liberals and radicals for the so-called evils and corruption of the democratic ri- gime.
 Anti-semitism is racial insofar as the Nazis consider the Jews mot German but Jews" putting racial and personal interests above German nationalisn, and main timing active international solidar- ity with Jews living beyond the frontiers.
 The Nazis particularly resent in- stances where Jewish immigrants

American Embassy
 Got Story Of Peace
tContinued from Page 1)

The findings, briefly summarized in HulPs letter last night, were:
 l. For a short time there was considerable physical mistreat- ment" of Jews by Hitler's brown considered virtually terminated"
 .2. Some Jewish stores were picketed and Jewish professional men discriminated against. The German government viewed such manifestations with "serious con- cern.'
 rs3. Hitler, as leader of the Nazi party, called on his followers to maintain law and order, and to avoid molesting foreigners, disrupt ing trade and creating embarrass- ing, international incidents.
 4. As a result of these appeals. the embassy thought, "a stabiliza- ation appears to have been reached in the field of personal mistreat- ment and there are indications that in other phases the situation is improving."
 Answering a criticism that the report from Germany sounded as though 1t had been written by the German foreign office, the state department said to-day 1t was in- tended to render the best possible service to the Jews in Germany in the light of the official facts that may come to the United States.
 "A State department spokesman said an effort had been made to cover, in the letter to the Jewish leaders, each essential point in the report from the Berlin embassy. Officials added they realized that thereport did not penetrate into every part of Germany or that 1t had assem bled all the facts.
 It was pointed out that Hull had promised to watch the situation closely This implied that further reports might be received if there were new evidences of anti-Semitic outrages by the Hitlerites.
