An Aryan man whose Aryan wife had
child by Jew before the couple was
married was granted a divorce on the
grounds that his wife's intimate contact
with a non-Aryan constituted a blemish
with which the husband could not be ex-
pected to put up.
There was one realm of activity how
ever, in which the Jew even by Naz will,
was to remain unhindered: Business was
to continue to be open to him.
Lord Mayor Julius Lppert, addressing
the American Chamber of Commerce Feb
ruary rs, 1885, in a widely publicized
speech, assured the world that ANY one
looking around can see that Jewish bust
nesses are not interfered with. If Jew
fulfills his civic duties, he enjoys the same
business rights as other citizens"
Nazis Change Policy.
All this has changed since May of this
year. The fixed policy OF the Naz regime
now is to force the Jew out of business
Just as soon as the present census of all
Jewish economic activity is completed the
authorities propose to have the Jewish
owner sell out such businesses as seem
worth whichever at a sacrifice
In the case of thousands of small shops
it is evidently intended to bring about their
bankruptcy both by refusing to sell to Jews
goods made in Aryan shops, and by making
it punishable for anybody who belongs to
any OF the Nazi party's numerous forma-
tons or for any government official to buy
in a Jewish-owned shop
AS to citizens not identified with the
party or the government, here other party
watchers stationed before Jewish shops
warn any Aryan not to go into the nom
Aryan store.
The great "smearing" actions Of middle
June were but incidents in the general
movement of coercing people to stay away
from Jewish shops.
Julius Streichers weekly "Stuermer'
(the StormeD regularly publishes the
names of people still having social inter-
course with or buying from Jews.
The Volksruf Peoples CALI of Vienna
is going Streicher one better by publishing
snapshots of Aryans as they enter Jewish
shops.
The Volksruf is teaching the Viennese to
shout in chorus after anybody who enters
Jewish shop:
'Dieses Christenschwein
Kauft beim Juden elm"
(This swine of Christian is buying from
a jew
Results Become Manifest.
Already the results Of this pressure are
becoming manifest by the constant closing
down OF smaller shops, the "Aryanization"
Of going Jewish concerns and the appalling
increase in the number of Jewish suicides.
The ultimate purpose Of the drive against
the Jew in business is to compel him to
emigrate.
A campaign of vilification Of the Jew is
under way which does not halt with things
considered sacred by the Jew.
Julius Streicher, for instance, is demand
ing that the Jewish Synagogue of Nurn-
berg be RACED on the theory that Jewish
temples are monuments Of disgrace" in a
German community. Already the costly
allegedy because it stood in the way of
plans for identifying the CITY,
Little incidents from daily life best illus
trate how far the regime Is going to show
the Jew up as an inferior being:
/. In the Vienna City Hall the tax COL
Iector's office is on the fourth floor. When
Jews dared use the elevator. they were
compelled to walk down again to the f-sg
floor and climb the stairs.
Forbidden to Enter Parks.
2. While in many cities. Berlin incluGlJ,
yellow benches for Jews have been erected
in the city parks, the Viennese Nazs went
one better and forbade the Jews to 70 to
parks at all.
3. BY German law, a radio set cannot
be seized for debt, on the ground that the
radio serves the dissemination Of enlighten-
ment and propaganda. In the case OF
Jew, however, the radio set may be seized,
since the government holds there is no
reason whatever for enlightening the Jew.
4. During military maneuvers, all homes
with spare beds must take in officers or
men. Should it prove absolutely unavoid-
able to press Jewish homes into such serv-
ice, care must be taken that officers or
soldiers do not eat at the same table OF
meet in the same room with the Jews.
5. A Jewish rag dealer in Stettin was
fined 10000 marks $4,000 for exceeding
the official top prices for rags. At the
same time an Aryan firm was fined only
500 marks (s2o0) for similar offense, &C.
cording to the Pommersche zeitung, OF
July %.
6. The German labor front is clamoring
vigorously (Which means that its demand
will be heeded) for the appointment OF
Aryan house managers even for apartment
buildings owned by Jews. The labor front
claims that Jews cannot be trusted to co.
operate in such national matters as anti.
aircraft protection. garbage saving and
used metal collection.
