Also In Vienna Vienna. (J. T. A.) Dr. Rosenberg, the director of a large English bank here, has refused the post of Extraordinary Minister offered him by Premier Schober, to save the country from its distressing financial condition. Rosenberg was originally offered the portfolio of Finance Minister, but owing to. strong anti-Semitic objection.the offer was recalled. The government, however, is seriously in need of a man of Dr. Rosenberg's caliber, experience and influence, and created ER office for him, but Dr. Rosenberg felt that this was a slur on him as Jew and refused the preferred position. In local Jewish circles, Dr. Rosenberg's stand is regarded as a dignified defence of Jewish honor, and the Jewish press praises him highly for his action.
