Thus the question of who is to pay for the burned synagogues, smashed windows and looted stores became inter national. Jews themselves have been ordered to repair damages, but the govern ment itself has seized all insurance claims to be applied to a $400,000,000 levy on Jews for the slaying of the diplomat, Ernst Vom Rath, by a Jew ish boy in Paris, and is forcing in surance companies to pay. Nearly all large Xlerman insurance companies carried foreign reinsur ance, and, therefore, presented claims to British and other foreign com panies which had this re-insurance. The claims were based on the ground that “civil commotion” occurred Itt mid-November in Germany. It was learned that some foreign companies would refuse to pay the re insurance claims because the “civil commotion” clause was struck out of contracts by Germans themselves, who had argued such developments were impossible in an authoritarian Btate. ' ; Other firms, it was understood, i planned to reply that they would prove the November 10 outbursts were organized with connivance of the gov ernment, and, therefore, represented an act of sovereignty, not covered by the insurance clause. Responsible Jewish quarters esti mated 520 synagogues were burned or demolished the night of November 9-10.
