IjONDON (WNS)—Many Jew¬ ish shopkeepers in Nazi-occu¬ pied France are liquidating their enterprises as a result of a Nazi-proclaimed boycott a- gainst Jewi.sh shops, it was learned here. Some Jewish owner.i were able to sell their shops but others less fortunate have been compelled to give them up.
The French people in occu¬ pied France dare not enter Jew¬ ish shops since the boycott is supervised by uniformed Nazi troopers and because of the articles in the daily press warn¬ ing the population not to buy in Jewish stores.
Nazi raids on Jewish homes continue. Tralnloads of silver and other valuable objects, tak¬ en from Je*ish homes and in¬ stitutions, have; been shipped back to Germany,
Meanwhile, the Nazi press has launched a campaign to pro¬ hibit French Jews in the occu¬ pied area to return to their homes in unoccupied teriltory A Nazi ladio report from Paris said that the final peace terms, which will be signed at tho end of the war, will Include a provision permitting Nazi authorities to confiscate wealth  of   Jews   In

Report Nazis Plan To Enlarge Lublin "Reservation"
^i^^mwt^^^4^'^SiU^.
LISBON (WNS)—Nazi offi¬ cials are discussing the possi¬ bility of enlarging the Lublin Jewish "reservation" In Nazi- occupied Poland to provide room for all the Jews In Ger¬ many and Nazi-dominated lands. It was reliably reported here.
The Lublin "reservation," to which the Nazis have sent thousands of Gemran and Po¬ lish Jews during the past year, has been described by refugees as "a living hell", lacking the most elementary saiUtary facili¬ ties. Hundreds of Jews, forc¬ ed to sleep In open barns and sheds, were reported to have died of pneumonia during the past winter.
The "reservation" has been cut off completely from the out¬ side world, Nazi authorities even refusing to deliver mall to Jews transported there. All re¬ quests from newspapermen to visit Lublin have been rejected. BarBed-wIre entanglements sur- roimd the area.
Another report from Nazi- occupied Poland stated that the Nazis have pressed Into com¬ pulsory service 600,000 Poles, Including appnoxhnately 200,000 Jews, for the purpose of build¬ ing new fortifications on  the

BOSTON (WNS) — Senator David I.

In his statement yesterday. Rabbi Silver declared that Mr. Winkle's clear and unequivocal stand on foreign relations, a stand which Is substantially the same as President Roosevelt's, obviated the need iof a third term. Babbi Silverfmade par¬ ticular reference to Mr. Win¬ kle's support of maximum aid to Great Britain,, short of war, "Permit me to say," Rabbt Silver declared yesterday, "that my conviction as to the third term remains unchanged. And so does my great admiration for the policies and achieve¬ ments ojf President Roosevelt.
"What I expressed In my March address," Rabbi Silver continued, "represents a settled conviction. The 'no-t-h 1 r d term' tradition has been vin¬ dicated by a century and a halt of American experience, and it Is particularly Important In these'days, when the Indlspen- slble-one-man-rule I s exalted In so many parts of the world at the expense of the demo¬ cratic faith In laws and Institu¬ tions rather than In persons, that It should not be repudiat¬ ed.
"Only one consideration," he said, "would have warranted a change of attitude—If the oppo¬ sition candidate. In this case Mr. WUlkle, would have beep an Isolationist representing a foreign policy at sharp variance with the sound and courageous one which Presldtnt Roosevelt has been prosecuting
