RUTH BRENT Anti-Nasi League Opposes Reich Exodus Plan NEW YORK.—(WNS) — Un- alterable opposition to any and every plan for Opt emigration of German Jews from the Third Reich which involves an increase in German exports was voiced by the executive committee of the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League in a statement defining its position on th proposed plan for transfer- ring a large number of German Jews to other countries and for liquidating their property. Admit- ting that "no far there seems to be no definite information avail- able regarding the .exact plan under which the propoed trans- fer of the German Jews to other and more civilized lands is to be conducted ," the committee's statement brands the plan as sug- grated "outrageous" and declares that "it would be a financial or triumph for Hitler. Emphasizing that it opposes the plan not because of any lack of sympathy for the German Jews "but because the question is a far larger one than that of the Jews in Germany alone," the com- mittee declared that "until their full human, religious and political rights are restored to the Catho- lic, Proteetant and Jewish groups in Germany, to German labor, to the fraternal orders and to the great mass of German woman- hood, the League will continue to fight for a complete boycott of German goods and services by every right-thinking humani- tarian."
