for Jeus to make their liuing in
the Reich.

Germany yesterday coupled new
measures to eradicate all traces of
Jewry from the nations life with the
hope, expressed by Propaganda Min
lister Paul Joseph Goebbels, that
world sentiment would become so
Jewish that other countries would
take our Jews off our hands"
An anti-Jewish current continued
In France even while voices were
raised in protest against the gov
ernment's silence on the German
Jewish issue, and in Italy it was
revealed that $4,000 Jews had lost
government and private jobs within
the last few days.
30 Driven From Germany.
A German military patrol near
Taus. Czechoslovakia, drove a group
of 80 Jewish men across the new
German -Czechoslovak demarcation
line into Czechoslovak territory with
threats they would be shot if they
returned.
The refugees were stopped at the
Taus railway station by the Czecho-
slovak gendarmerie and will remain
In the custody of the Taus police
over the week end. It is believed
they will be set free and not re-
turned to Germany.
The Jews, including several ply
sicians and land owners, begged
tearfully not to be sent back to
death.
Want to Export Semites.
Goebbels, speaking last night in
Reichenberg, Sudetenland, referred
with biting sarcasm to the Jewish
problem in a speech before mass
meeting.
I'VE do not want to export anti
Semitism; on the contrary we want
to export Semites," he said in his
85-minute speech delivered in con-
nection with the forthcoming De-
cember supplementary elections to
admit Sudeten Germans to the
Reichstag.
"supposing the whole world was
anti-Semetic, how should we rid
ourselves of our Jews?
1T is our wish that the world
may become 50 pro-Jewish that 1t
would take our Jews of our hands. y
Critics Of Germany complain that
Adolf Hitler has just all the luck, !"
he went on.
That's just it. Leadership of
state does need luck, but one must
admit that people are happier under
q lucky government than under an
unlucky one"
Eradication Drive BrOadened.
The campaign to remove all signs
Of Jewry from Germany's national
life was broadened amid swift flnan-
cial, religious and international cross
currents
Protestant churches in some parts
Of the country were ordered to elm
mate the German word Jehovah. p"
taken from the Hebrew for God, and
Old Testament names of Jewish
prophets.
Wealthy Jews in Nurnberg, &C
eording to advices received in Mu-
Mich, were forced to sign over 80
per cent of their possessions to the
German Labor Front and then told
to leave the city within three
months.
A mass eviction of Jews was re-
ported in Vienna. In Berlin thou
sands clamored in vain for permis-
sion to leave while officials debated
ways and means of letting them go.
Lay teachers of religion in public
schools asked that pastors and
priests assume such instruction.
They explained no German teacher
could interest Nordic pupils in Jew
written Psalms" and Old Testament
history.
Other Developments.
These developments occurred in
other spheres:
/. In Memel, 1,099-square-mile
Lithuanian area detached from Ger
many by the Versailles treaty, the
formation was announced of a uni
formed German youth movement
like the Hitler youth in Germany.
