HITLER1 & SPEECH SEEN AS POSSIBLE MOVE TOWARD SETTING. U? JEWISH STATE IN POLAND
PARIS, Oct. 6. (JTA) — Adolf Hitler’s Reichstag speech today may be the precursor to shipping all German Jews eastward into a half-Jewish and half-Polish Reich protectorate cen-tp?ing around Warsaw, according to indications from Berlin reported by the Havas News Agdnfcy in an Amsterdam dispatch.
Hitler’s address was regarded as evidence that a sort of Jewish state subordinated | to a German protectorate was in prospect for the middle Vistula, the Havas dispatch said.
(Rumors that 'Germany was considering establishment of a Jewish state have been current for several weeks. On Sept. 13 the official German news agency issued a report proposing "removal” of the Polish Jeivish population. On Sept. 19 the semi-official Belgrade newspaper Vrerae reported that Germany intended to establish a Jewish state in Galicia, to which all Jews of German territories would be sent. On Oct. 3 the Berlin correspondent . of the Chicago Tribune reported that Hitler had instructed his men to prepare the creation of "a Jewish state of Warsaw where he plans to settle all the Jews of his realm.” The- latter report was denied in Berlin.)
