The Chargé in Germany ( Gilbert ) to the Secretary of State
[Received September 4—11:20 a.m.]
220. Supplementing my 216, September 3, 4 p.m.,10 the stenographic report on Goering’s speech reveals that he exhorted German firms not to have Jewish representatives abroad and further that should the Jews renew the boycott “the damage which arises for Germany will be solely paid for by the Jews in Germany.”
As Goering has not been particularly prominent in anti-Jewish activity for some time, this threat to take counteraction against the boycott seems significant and may foreshadow intensified economic pressure on the Jews in Germany.
