the Zionist Organization of America, with three associates,

NUREMBERG, (JTA)—Arthur
Seyss-Inquart, Austrian Nazi
who was Hitler's governor of
Austria and later of the Nether-
lands, has told the Internation-
al War Crimes Tribunal that
"for a time" he tolerated steril-
ization of male Jews in Holland.
"It was voluntary," he declared,
testifying in his own defense.
He said that the shorthand
record, according to which he ad-
mitted that the idea of steriliza-
tion was his own, was faulty
work on the stenographer's part.
After a complaint from a
Christian church he had in-
vestigated sterilization of Jewish
women, and finding it a complex
operation, ordered it stopped, he
declared.

"The possibility of increasing
trade between this country and
Palestine is being hampered seri-
ously by the British through
their government in Palestine.
Its excuse that it lacks dollar ex-
change is patently fallacious,
since the Bank of England pro-
vides ample dollars for Trans-
jordan merchants who are im-
porting large quantities of Am-
erican merchandise to smuggle
across the border—their out-
rageous charges destroying the
reputation of American firms.
Urges $25,000,000 Investment
"It was the unanimous opinion
of all members of the delega-

tinued, "that American Jewry
should realize that in addition
to their contributions to the
public frnds, vast potentialities

American institutions both in
this country and in Palestine.
The delegation felt that it was
necessary to take immediate
steps in America to mobilize at
least $25,000,000 for investment.
The businessmen who comprised
the delegation pledged their un-
animous support to the project."
