In Certain Districts

Berlin, June 4.

Although the authorities have often denied intentions of forming Jewish Ghettos in the Reich, the Berlin municipality today issued a decree forbidding Jews to live in the suburban residential districts and those areas near the western arterial road:

Israelites in the districts were "invited" to remove to lodgings in other parts of the town especially reserved for them. They were warned that they would be thrown out of their houses should they not move out in time.

Aryan proprietors of houses rented by Jews must inform the authorities before June 10 whether any of the Jewish tenants still remain in their buildings. Infractions of this ordinance will bẹ punishable by fines and jail terms.—~Havas.
