GERMAN JEWS IN COLONY MAY SOON LOSE POSITIONS
IF GERMAN JEWS residing in Hongkong desire to leave the Colony, they must first of all submit to having the letter "J" stamped across their passports.
"Although Jews employed by German firms in Hongkong are not being summarily dismissed, as is alleged to be the case in London, there is a possibility that they will soon lose their positions as a result of the loss of trade consequent upon the Japanese occupation of Canton.
These facts were made known to-day as a result of enquiries
by the "Telegraph."
