Anti-Jewish Drive
Costing Germany
Orders From Abroad
Foreign Sales' Decrease
First Effect Noted
After Violence
i BACKGROUND—
Polish Jew fatally wounded
secretary of German embassy in
Paris 11 days ago. touching off
worst wave of anti-Semitic vio
lence since Hitler came to power
in 1933. Ferocity of attacks has
stirred up vast expressions of
indignation against German gov
ernment. Plans under way for
large-scale migration of Jews
from Germany.
9t tht Aiiocikted Pr«s».
BERLIN, Nov. 18 —The antl
Jewish drive is costing Germany
orders for her goods from abroad
and it appeared today that other
•conomic difficulties may follow.
One exporter said all orders had
been canceled by customers in five
leading countries around Germany.
■ Another asserted ruefully that the
steep downward curve of business
extended beyond the bottom of his
sales graph.
The sharp decrease of foreign
orders, manufacturers said, was the
first effect they noted after the
wrecking of Jewish shops, the de
crees ordering these shops under
Aryan proprietorships, and the $400.
000.000 fine a consequence of the
shooting by a Jewish boy of the
Paris Embassy secretary, Ernst vom
Rath, who was buried yesterday with
Nazi honors.
Attack on Tenant Rights.
New prohibitions include, the
newspaper Angriff said, one against
tenant rights for Jews which would
permit an Aryan wanting a Jew's
home to have him evicted overnight.
The paper said some 8,000 homes in
Berlin W'ould become available
shortly for Aryans.
Jewish guests are to be banned
from small hotels. The larger hotels
are not adhering to the ban, a re
liable person said, because of their
international clientele.
With new restrictions becoming
known daily while Nazi newspapers
continue attacks upon the United
States and Britain for their ex
pressions of resentment industrialists
have asked that German Chambers
of Commerce abroad examine mar
ket possibilities more exhaustively
and try to provide counter-stimu
lants.
Experts Study Organization.
Experts of the economics ministry,
meanwhile, are studying- how the
wholesale "Aryanization'’ of Jewish
capital may be handled without do
ing serious harm to the national
interest.
Some economists point out that
the transfer does not necessarily
mean increased or improved em
ployment, since large portions of
Jewish capital long have been em
ployed in industry.
The whole upset, they say, may
mean no improvement in the gen
eral business situation.
Walther Funk, economics minis
ter, likely had this in mind when
he urged last Tuesday that “care
must be taken that the displace
ment and tying up of great capital
sums in the Aryanization process
shall not hamper the money market
in providing funds for investment in
Reich loans or other necessary
purposes."
Sensitive Market Expected.
Bankers, nevertheless, predicted a
sensitive market for the next few
months because of the large
amounts of capital Involved and
uncertainty enveloping the whole
situation.
The Stock Exchange position is
being closely watched. Bankers
were notified a few days ago they
should not accept orders to sell
securities for Jews.
Later they were permitted to
handle sales up to 1,000 marks
i$5001 a transaction, and the change
at once depressed exchange prices.
The general tendency among
financiers is to act with extreme
caution.
