eneral Strikes and Alien Agents Banned: Colombia Calls Envoy Home From Berlin

Ne éw Persecution Mapped; > ‘Nazi Minister Sails From New York.

"BERLIN, Nov. 24 (U. P.).—Jaime ‘Jaramillo, Colombian Minister to : any, and his charge d’affaires, Rafael Rocha Schloss, have been recalled by their Government, the United Press learned today. . Senor Jaramillo told the United Press that he was leaving for Paris tonight. He said he had been appointed Minister to another country whose name, he said, he was unable to reveal. Senor Jaramillo was detained by Storm Troops while taking photographs of the recent anti-Jewish rioting. .He never presented his

Meanwhile, Germany’ s 700,000 Jews sought frantically to meet the - heavy fines imposed on them by the Nazi regime under the threat of an daccelerated - anti-Semitic program spurred by the full powers of the Government's propaganda machine. Four Installments Provided

‘Many Jews admitted privately that they saw no way to comply with the Government’s new decree , Betting forth the precise manner in ' which Jews were to. pay the 400 ‘million dollars fine levied for the ‘slaying in Paris of a minor Nazi ‘diplomat. The decree ordered the . Reich’s Jews to begin payment of ,the fine by Dec. 15. The levies, , exempting foreign Jews, were im-

The Nazi press echoed the charges ' of Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph ‘Goebbels that the slaying of Ernsi rvom Rath by a Polish Jew was part ‘of a premeditated Jewish plot ‘against Nazi officials to “provoke the German people.” The decree also proclaimed that insurance claims on Jewish prop‘erty destroyed in the Nazi rioting of two weeks ago must be turned over to the state to help liquidate the fines as part of the 20 per cent levy.

Confiscation Feared

Outright confiscation of Jewish ‘property, some Jews said, appeared to be the only way the fines could

be met.

Dr. Goebbels set the stage for intensification of anti-Semitic policy

. and possible extension of it into

quarters hitherto lukewarm to the persecution program by detailing plans for a series of 1500 anti-Jewish

rallies to be held in greater Berlin “alone during the next three months.

“We will continue to fight, showpromise or mercy on the uestion, until the aim set by Der hrer is reached,” was the new keynote of party leaders.

BOGOTA, Nov. 24 (U. P.)—Dr. Eduardo Santos, President of CoJombia, in a statement a week ago said that the countries of North and South America should pursue co-operative action for the defense of independent liberties in this hemisphere. “That co-operative action,” he ‘said, “is not only opportune but necessary.” The statement followed President Roosevelt's announcement of Pan‘American policy and the return of .U. S. Ambassador Hugh Wilson from Germany.

Dieckhoff Avoids

Anti-Nazi Demonstration

NEW YORK, Nov. 2¢ (U. P).— Dr. Hans Heinrich Dieckhoff, Ger-| man Ambassador to -the United States, was on the high seas today bound for Berlin to explain the of the United ‘States toward Nazi persecutions of religious and racial minorities. . Dr. Dieckhoff boarded the German liner Hansa through a cargo gangplank last night and took a suite listed under the name of Herr ,Rennert. It was not until his initialed trunk was carried through ‘the lobby that his presence was suspected but even then ship officials “denied he was scheduled to sail. An executive of the North Ger‘man Lloyd Line finally admitted the Ambassador was aboard and ar: ~ ranged a brief interview. Dr. Dieckhoff said he had planned to slip

. out quietly because he wished to

avoid the sort of anti-Nazi demonstrations which have marked other German ship sailings recently. . Asked whether he expected to return to the United States he said: ny can I say? I really can’t anything right now. It is quite

U. S. EMBARGO ON NAZIS ASKED

Hundreds of Citizen Groups Send Boycott Pleas To Hull.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24 (U.P.).— The State Department today considered petitions from hundreds of citizen groups demanding an immediate embargo against German trade. The petitions from all patie. of

the country expressed indignation over Germany’s anti-Semitic campaign and the forced dismemberment of Czechoslovakia. They asked that President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull protest through economic pressure. A majority of the petitions, some of which were adopted by organizations having thousands of members, asserted that the United States could bring relief to the German minorities by economic action. They urged that the United States take the lead in a worldide movement to bring the Reich to its knees in the interests of the oppressed groups and future world peace. Tariff Law Basis ‘

It was pointed out that such action could be taken by the President under authority of Section 338 of the Tariff Act. This provides that the President tan order’ application of a 50 per cent tariff increase against imports from any country which is found to be discriminating against American producers. If the discriminations do not cease, the President can order an embargo against imports from the offending country. Many petitions, including some from trade groups, charged. that Germany actually is discriminating against American trade directly in Europe and indirectly in other parts of the world, especially South America, by barter trade agreements. Any move to act against Germany along the lines demanded by the petitions, however, would meet with immediate and powerful opposition.

Hungarian Premier

Beaten on ‘Gag’ Rule BUDAPEST, Nov. 24 (U.P.).— There were indications today that former Premier Kalmon de Daranyi might succeed Premier Bela Imredy of Hungary in the midst of a tense

| situation involving the danger of

Hungarian armed action against Czechoslovakia. Premier Imredy resigned not because of the Hungarian-Czech quarrel, but because of opposition to the

and charges that he was using ‘“dictatorship” methods. He submitted his resignation to Regent Horthy last night. At first the Regent refused to accept the resignation, but today he conferred with several of the country’s leading politicians. The Parliament recessed until Nov. 30. Former Premier Daranyi met with the Cabinet Council in the House of Parliament immeditely after the Government defeat on a “gag” rule proposal by a vote of 118 to 95. : Hungarian-Polish demands for amputation of Ruthenia to give Hungary and Poland a common frontier, coupled with Hungarian accusations. of a Ruthenian “revolt” in favor of annexation to Hungary, have held the threat of an armed Hungarian and Polish invasion over Tentral Europe for five

days.

Government’s anti-Jewish measures|-

Lodge Property Seized; King Carol Dines With Hitler.

* WARSAW, Nov. 24 (U. P.)—The Government dissolved all Freemason lodges throughout the country and prohibited general strikes today in a series of drastic decrees designed to. strengthen Poland’s Position, as a ‘totalitarian state.

Freemason property be immediately confiscated by the state which will utilize it “for purposes of public welfare.” A prison term of five years is established as the penalty

for those organizing or joining Masonic lodges. The order prohibits any type of general strike or any walkout affecting an entire industry. Proclamatior of or participation in such strikes will be punishable by five years imprisonment. Farmers who refuse to deliver produce as a part of any labor walkout are subject to five-year prison terms.

The decree provided three years prison terms for persons or organizations found engaging in developing propaganda within Poland in the interests of a foreign power, agents found operating for “international secret organizations,” and persons found spreading reports likely to prejudice the value Polish currency or damage Polish exports.

74 or More Killed

In Barcelona Raids BARCELONA, Nov. 24 (U. P.)— Rebel .aircraft bombed this beleaguered city at regular intervals today leaving a fresh wake of death and destruction. The exact toll of dead in’ the night-long raids could not be learned immediately. The last bombardment was staged at 10 a. m. The populace was terror-stricken as one air raid alarm succeeded another. ; The raiders, comprising mostly German planes, centered their attack on the port area and many of the bombs fell into the sea. Eleven were known killed and 20 wounded in the harbor zone, bringing the toll in the past 24 hours to at least 74 dead in 10 raids.

King Carol Has Dinner With Hitler

BERCHTESGADEN, Germany, Nov. 24 (U. P.) —King Carol of Rumania and Crown Prince Michael were entertained at a luncheon today by Chancellor Hitler at the Fuehrer’s mountain retreat. King Carol was accompanied by two of his German cousins, Prince

Friedrich Victor and Prince Franz Josef. Oscar Pirow, British Minister for South Africa, was scheduled to talk with Hitler later in the day. It was assumed that they would discuss Germany’s claims to former colonies.

DALADIER FACES PERIL OF CRISIS AS TALKS BEGIN

Meets British Leaders as (General Strike Threat Appears.

~ PARIS, Nov. 24 (U.P.) —The Premiers of Great Britain and France met in a conference of far-reaching

implications at the Quai d’Orsay today while Premier Daladier struggled with Left Wing opposition to hold his Government together. Britain’s Prime Minister Chamberlain and Viscount Halifax, Foreign Secretary, faced M. Daladier and French Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet across a long table in M. Bonnet’s office. The meeting was a direct outgrowth of the historic Munich conference and the atmosphere here fully reflected the tension. The arrival of the English delegation last night coincided with the completion of an antiwar pact between France and Germany, an accord to which Mr. Chamberlain gave his full approval. The Prime Min-

of ister has staked his political future

on the pacification of Europe. British sources said that Mr. Chamberlain, during his brief stay here, would seek out the Duke of Windsor and discuss with him the possibility of his returning to England with his Duchess, the former Wallis Warfield of Baltimore, Md.

General Strike Talked* -

For the moment, however, M. Daladier was more concerned with crystalized in Leftist opposition which threatened to rob. the Government of its strength and perhaps even overthrow the Daladier regime. A violent swing to the left marked the establishment of the new eco-

{nomic and fiscal decrees, proclaimed

by the Government as a vital part of the “Save France” movement. a nation-wide strike movement was taking form and many feared the calling of a general strike would certainly cause the downfall of M. Daladier. Labor’s increasing hostility to the Daladier program of economic regimentation, which included abrogation of the 40-hour week in the interests of national defense, resulted in a wave of sitdown strikes. Spanish War Big Issue

The conferees met in a room overlooking the Interior Gardens. Three major problems faced them: 1. The war in Spain, with its controversial question of the status to ber assigned by the powers to the cause of Rebel Generalissimo Franco. ; 2, French-German relations and steps to consolidate friendship between the two powers in the interval between now and Dec. 2, tentative date for the signing of the antiwar pact.

men were in jail and a fifth was in a hospital today as result of a free-for-all between members of the

Silvershirt Legion, said to be an anti-Semitic organization, and opponents of the group. . The street battle broke out last night when 150 persons attempted to break up a meeting of the Silvershirts, affiliated with the American Gentile Association. Fists flew as’ the Silvershirts emerged from a tavern where the meeting was held. Upwards of 40 combatants punched each other and rolled around in the street before eight police squads quelled the disturbance and arrested five participants, one of whom, Michael Sanders, 34, a Silvershirter, suffered head injuries and was hospitalized. Sanders’ condition was reported “good. ” Police said the trouble originated yesterday afternoon when legion opponents prevailed upon the management of a downtown building to return a rental deposit on a hall where the Silvershirts were scheduled to meet. The Silvershirts transferred the meeting to the tavern. Objectors gathered outside, jeering and hooting. The melee ensued.

ticular attention to Praha’s welltimed demand on Britain and France to fulfill the terms of the Munich pledge to guarantee the final frontiers of Czechoslovakia. The British delegation, including William H. Strang, foreign office expert, in addition to Chamberlain, Halifax and their secretaries, drove to the foreign office at precisely 10 a. m. . « Thousands were lined along the streets, to cheer the British group. Sporadic choruses of “boos” and “down with Munich” punctuated the cheering but there were no disorders. Both Chamberlain and Halifax carried umbrellas and many jests were shouted about them. The French people now consider the umbrella the symbol of the Munich agreement.
