 Lady Oxford, in letter to the Times, joined in the wave of pro- tests.
 Nor will blackmail by leading Nazis-that protests would only in- crease Jewish persecution-deter me or any decent man or woman from adding to these protests" she wrote. Deeds of savagery perpet- rated in Germany today are not spontaneous. They are organized. :,
 At the time when I and a mas jority of my countrymen believe that the prime minister's policy of peace( holding out our hand instead of shaking our fist) is important German officials chose to undermine this belief in an orgy of reprisals. '
 Personal attacks against such men as Winston Churchill, a power in the Conservative party, Anthony Eden, former secretary of foreign affairs, Alfred Duff Cooper, former first lord of the admialty, and others could not be overlooked to permit new negotiations between the two nations, it was said.
 Chamberlain Opposes
 Chamberlain was reported relia- ply, however, still to be determined to negotiate with Hitler. He realized that immediate discussions were impossible because of high British indignation with Germany as well as Hitler's apparent irritation with Britain, often manifested in his re- cent speeches.
 Despite unofficial protests on all sides, it was understood that the government would not intervene openly in the German anti-Jewish campaign. The government was expected to maintain firm stand with regards to the interests of British Jews in Germany, however. It also was expected to protest the article in the German newspaper, Der Angriff, alleging that Churchill. Eden and Duff Cooper helped insti- gate the assassination of Ernst Won Rath, secretary of the German em- bassy in Paris, by 8 Polish Jew This protest may be made "pri- vately" to spare German pride" it was said.
 | Peace With Italy
 Chamberlain, however, starts his peace program in another direction this week by putting into effect the new British-Italian agreeme t agreed upon last April but never implemented. The agreement was expected to be signed in Rome on Wednesday. At the same time Lord Perth, British ambassador to Italy was expected to present new cre- dentials to the Italian government addressed to King Victor Emmanuel emperor of Ethiopia, which will acknowledge British recognition o1 the Italian conquest.
 Regarding the problems of Jews in Germany, 1t was understood tha, Britain would adopt the same atti- tude as other nations-that the af- fairs in Germany are internal problems in which other powers carl- not intervene.
 Means To Aid Refugees
 It was believed that if last weeks disorders and the subsequent $400,. 900 900 fine on Jews caused 8 great exodus of Jews from Germany Britain would consult the United States, France and other powers through the inter-governmental committee on refugees-on means te help them.
 George Rublee, Washington law yer who is director of the refugee committee, was understood to have planned a visit in Berlin before last weeks riots, but now was awaiting developments.
 The only official comment on the Nazi efforts to drive Jews from Germany's economic life came from Godfrey Shakespeare, parliament tary secretary of the admiralty. h a speech at Norwich he said he hoped that "the German nation realizes that appeasement with thif country cannot be helped forward by the exhibitions of unreStrained mob law and persecution of people whose only fault is their race"
 Protest to Maxi Government
 London, Nov. 14-(UP)-The Brit ish charge d'affares in Berlin has been instructed to protest strongly to the German government against recent articles in the German press associaitng a former British minis- ter and members of the house of commons with the murder" in Paris of German diplomat, Prime Min ister Neville Chamberlain informed the house of commons today.
 Chamberlain said the Berlin charge had taken immediate steps to preserve the rights of British sub- jects and reserved the right to pre- sent claims for compensation for damage done during last Thursday s anti-Jewish demonstration.
 T regret to say that reports in the press regarding action against Jews in Germany appear to be substan- tially correct" Chamberlain said. aNo one in this country would seek murder of von Rath (Ernst von to defend the senseless crime of the Rath, third secretary of the German embassy in Paris) but at the same time there will be deep and wide- spread sympathy for those being made to suffer for it."
 The attacks in the German press which Britain protested included an article in Der Angriff which said that anti-Nazis speeches by Alfred Dun Cooper. former first lord of the ladmiralty. Winston Churchill and
