W0OLWORTH STOPS
GERMAN IMPORTS
Action Follows Decision of
Four Large Depart
ment Stores

New York, Mar. 21-(UP) -
Closely following action by four
large New York department stores,
F. w. Woolworth Company an
nounced today that importation Of
German goods had been discon-
tinued.
Announcement was made by
Byron d. Miller, president of the
company. Similar action had been
taken by r. H. Macy & Co., Inc,
Gimbel Brothers, Inc, Hearn's De-
partment st or e, Bloomingdale
Brothers and others.
Miller's decision was made pub
lie in a telegram to Ezekiel Rabin-
owitz, executive secretary Of the
non-sectarian anti-Nazi league to
champion rights. He said that
Germany goods were slow in be-
ing liquidated due to "sales re-
sistence" and would be replaced
with American goods rather than
products Of other European coun-
tries.
The new policy affects purchases
for the 1,941 five and ten cent
stores which reported sales last
year for more than $250,000, 600
in 1892 German imports accounted
for Ito per cent of total purchas-
es, Miller said.
Commenting on the Woolwortn
decision Rabinowitz said:
"It is a very definite inroad into
one of Germany's strongest manu-
featuring fields, that of cheap
novelties. Heretofore, attention has
been centered on the more eXpen-
sive items handled by our large
department stores. 1t is now shown
that the entire field of German i'm
ports has been affected"
