ANTI-JEWISH CAMPAIGN IS INTENSIHEI]

Daily Raids In Berlin Follow Influx Of Jews Seeking Ref- uge.

By LOUIS P. LOCHNER. Associated Press Foreign Stat! BE . June 17—(A1=.)—<Pro- psganda Mnister Joseph Goebbels himself ordered the raids on Jew- ish homes and. amusement places that have become daily occurrences in Berlin since June 1. a high Nazi source declared tonight.

"Dr. Goebbels‘ learned that a constant stream of Jews was de- scending upon this capital because it was regarded as the only oasis left for Jews," the inormant said.

“Rightiy or wrongly.’ the Jews believed the resence here oi a large diplomat corps and so many foreign correspondents constituted a cert safe for Jews.

"Accordinaly Jews have been in droves. Fearing difficul- ties if they reported their presence to police they soukht refuse with relatives and iriends."

Bnided by Police

Cafes. restaurants and theatres ireoueu by. Jews and Jewish homes have been raided by secret police since the anti-Semitic cam- paign stLfened. It Was rumored 1.- 000 persons were arrested.

Authorities shrugged their shoul- ders when asked about this report

Nerves oi British and United States consular oificiaJs were tried by repeated pathetic scenes in their offices-nervous breakdowns. sui- side threats and outbursts oi hys- terical weeping.

The number of visas granted at the British consulate was estimated atildi) daily. The estimate includ- ed Aryan Germans. There was no account oi the applications refused.

Applications for United States visas jumped from a recent daily average of 30 to 130 when unoffi- cial reports oi the raids began cir- cuiating.

Foreigners heard many reports o’! arrests and rough treatment for

ews.

Investigation Into Livestock Marketing Urged

OTTAWA. June i7 -(OPl- Request for an investigation into livestock marketing was made to- night in the House oi Commons by Harry Leader (Lib. Portage La Prairie) and seconded by op- position Leador Bennett.

Mr. Leader wanted a parlia- mentary committee set up next session to give farmer members an opportunity to deal more directly with this matter. "I have often felt,” he said. "that mem- bers oi parliament hava very little to say with regard to legis- lation and regulations which are all settled in the department.

Mr. Bennett referred to chr:ges made at various times regarding operations of the major packing companies and said parliament should know ii conditions were such as represented. He urged an investigation by the tariff board.

Agriculture Minister Gardiner said reorganization of the depart- ment, now nearing completion. contemnlred the setting up oi a livestock branch which would be in cons ‘ touch with all phases of the industry and making cm- tinous investigations.

Neither Mr. Bennett nor Mr. Ioader thought this method oi problem would be sufficient. Mr. Gardiner said he ve consideration to their

BUDBH SPIKES All RUMBRS 0F EIECTIUN

Fall Session Of Parlia- ment To Consider Trade Treaties Held

- Likely.

OTTAWA. J1me l7—(C.P.)-—The Dunning budget apparently has sli- enoed all rumors o1 a general elec- tion this year but it has revived talk of a. fail session to consider trade treaties with Great Britain and- the United States.

For six months or more there have been sporadic rumors oi an election in the Fall. all without 0i- ficial endorsation. But they died- least in the eyes of political o_b- servers here-when Finance Minis- ter Dunning presented his budget Thursday. It was not regarded as a

re-election budget in any sense ox

e term. making no tarni changes and iew taxation changes.

Depends m Negotiations

A fall session to deal with trade treaties depnds entirely on negotia- tions now pr ing in Washing- ton. They are three-way negotia- tions between Canada. Great Bri- tain and the United States. In his budget speech. Mr. Dunning em- phasized the importance of negotia- tions and their possible effect on a world movement to reduce tariffs and free trade channels.

Ii new agreements with Great Britain and the United States are signed. it will not be necessary ior parliament to approve them before they go into operation, The govern- ment has power to put them into operation by executive action. In .a it has been argued in the past that Parliament need never ap- prove a trade treaty. While that may be true theoretically. the prac- tice has been for the government to put them into operation and then submit them to Parliament.

Ii treaties are sighed within a iew weeks. the Government will have two courses open-assemble Parliament this fa them or hold them until the reim- lar winter session. Just what will happen no one knows but there is always the possibility of Parliament being reassembled in the Fall.

This development came to light after the Premier's sud- den action was interpreted chiefly as a move to sldetrack extremist opposition and Communist agitation for France

A communique issued by the Central Committee of the Public Service Union declared. the Gov- ernment's failure to act on pay in- creases to meet rising living costs left “no recourse except the forms o1 aotion which workers in private industry have used with such suc- cess."
