New Threat To Jewish

Refugees In

England

PROPERTY DETAILS WANTED

BY GERMANY

Jewish refugees from

Ger-

mony now living it England German are alarmed by the Government's decree which re- quests them to register the value of all their property,

All German emigrants to England who are still registered as 'German eltizens have received this order,

They fear that it will be followed by heavy demands from the German Government on their carvings, sav- ever, in ings or investments, and

certain circumstances, by consen tion of such property as they still possess in Cermany,

It is estimated that the amount in- vested by German Jews in England during the past five years is about £5,000,000. The registration returns must include banking accounts and details of private possessions, such as jewellery and silver.

POSSIBLE CONFISCATION Two factors strengthen the Ger- man Government's hand in making this demand:

Fear that refusal to comply with the decree will lead to victimis- tion of the refugees' relatives in Germany; and

Fear of losing German nation- ality, which involves confiscation of all property remaining in Ger-

many.

A number of refugees have been considering the possibility of regis tering only that part of their pos- sessions which is still inside Ger- many. They realise, however, that withholding of information would! almost certainly be discovered by the German Government,

None Has Made Own Fortune

"'ot the fifty wealthiest citizens of Great Britain, more than half are women."---Mrs. director of Elleen Murphy, Home Service, for the British Commercial Gas Association, speaking at Glasgow.

By HILDE MARCHANT

Most of Britain's wealthi- est women inherited their fortunes from men who made the money, then left it to their widows and daugh- ters to spend.

I checked up on their money recently. I found that they do not spend it all on clothes.

They care little about fashion- they cultivate homeliness in dress as a disguise They buy tweeds and woollen

HITLER SENDS AID

The first the French authorities knew of Hitler's proposal was on July 10, four days before the arrival of the Royal visitors.

Then advice came from Berlin that the Government of the Reich proposed to send one of its most trusted police chiets to Paris to co-operate with the Surete Nationale.

Before Paris had time to reply the Director presented himself at the head office of the Suret, armed with a long list of "uspect" Germans residing in the French capital. His aid was immediately enlisted,
