Bessarabia.
3. The Nazis announced that they
will shortly set up in Warsaw an

Jews in the area, said the account

New Raids and Detentions.
In Germany itself there have been
apparently no new anti-Jewish de-

present regulations permit almost
any action the Nazis decide. There
has been, however, in the last
month an outbreak of nuisance raids
and detentions in Berlin. with
warnings that the next time will
mean concentration camps.
Some were arrested because they
had not reached their quarters a
few minutes after the curfew hour
of 9 o'clock, others because they
possessed fruits which Jewish ration
cards do not cover. others for vio-

restrictions under which Jews live
in the Reich. They were "interned"
for periods of two days to more

agencies which still function, but
which, naturally enough, are unable

The new DEGREES in France climax
a steady drift to extreme anti

Germun Decision to Arrive

Reported From Berlin

BERN, Aug. 27.-A new drive
against Europe's Jews, virtually con-
demning them in some sections to
the auction block as slave labor, is
taking shape under the leadership OF
the continents Nazi masters.
Germany" writes the Berlin cor
respondent of the Gazette of Lau-
same, has decided to take drastic
measures to arrive at def1nitive
solution of the Jewish problem not
only in Germany, but in the con-
quered and perhaps also in Allied
territories" The specific measures
are not yet known, the newspaper
says, adding:
They will likely be similar to the
creation of ghettos in Warsaw and
other eastern cities
German editors. the newspaper
goes on, said the move was planned
because of recent demonstrations in
New York and becaue of the more
and more hostile attitude of interna-
tional JeWry and It's responsibility
for the war" From such evidence as
the Voelkischer Beobachter itself,
however, the marshaling of Europe's
Jews stems from the Nazis' own
compelling need for labor to meet
the astronomical demands of total
war as Adolf Hitler must now
wage 1t.

WASHINGTON. = Last spring, when Hitler was on the verge of invading Yugoslavia, the Yugoslay Minister in Washington, Constantin Fotitch, telephoned to the Soviet Ambassador, Constantine Ouman- sky, to remind him of the pact of mutual assistance between Russia and Yugoslavia.
 T hope,' said the Yugoslav Min ister, that our treaty will now work and that Russia will help Yugoslavia in her hour of need"
 "Oh, my dear colleague replied Ambassador Oumansky, you must realize that Russia considers the capitalistic governments of the United States and Great Britain much greater enemies than Ger ! many"
 Several weeks later, on June 22, to be exact, the Yugoslav Minister telephoned the Soviet Ambassador again. By this time Hitler had turned the tables on his former ally by invading Russia.
