Abstract
Description
No appreciable change in situation of Jews in Austria since last despatch on the subject; government opposed to discrimination against Jews; new Cabinet even more strongly opposed; young Jews find it increasingly difficult to enter legal and medical professions, but this difficulty is created by professional organizations, not government, in an attempt maintain an equilibrium between Jews and non-Jews in a profession; in theatre, business, art, literature, and newspaper field there seems to be no discrimination; recent excesses in Germany have brought about a revulsion of feeling in Austria, and people as well as government will probably take a more determined stand against discrimination.
