An anti-Semitic uproar was staged today in the Prussian Landtag when the National Socialist Deputy, Ley Kube, vigorously objected to the fact that a Jew had dared to criticize a Voelkische institution. Deputy Kube called out to Deputy Kuttner, ""we shall settle in the streets with you Jews." Deputy Kuttner retorted, "I esteem the German race but you are either not a German or of an inferior quality." His remark was applauded by a majority of those present.
Deputy Kube’s indignation was due to the fact that Deputy Kuttner, on behalf of a state committee, had reported the collapse of the Voelkische Cooperative Bank, which was established in an attempt to break the influence of Jewish capital but its bankruptcy ruined thousands of Germans instead.
The National Socialist deputy urged the Prussian premier to follow the example of the Thuringian Minister of the Interior, Dr. Frick, and "throw out all Hebrews and Zionists" from the various ministries.
