While Adolf Hitler, leader of the National Socialists, (Fascists) whose tremendous victory in Sunday’s Reichstag elections is still the principle topic of conversation here, refused to be interviewed on his plans, a representative of his today gave out a detailed outline of the Hitler program containing ten points. Hitler’s “ten commandments,” as announced by his representative in Munich, can be summarized as “no Jews, anullment of the Peace treaties, and nationalization of banks and department stores.”
Referring to Jews the program unequivocally states first, that all Jews who settled in Germany since August 2, 1914 should be expelled; secondly, Jews should be excluded from responsible posts in public life. Hitler considers as Jews all persons whose ancestors practiced the Mosaic faith on March 11, 1852. Hitler also intends to seek a ban on Jews in the German army and navy, making them pay instead a special defence tax. If Hitler’s program is carried out Jews will not be admitted to the universities, newspapers employing Jews or which are owned by Jews will have to state that fact on a front page headline together with a representation of the Mogen David, the Star of David. He will also seek to prohibit sales of land to Jews and to prevent them from teaching in the public schools.
The Hitlerite organ, the Voelkische Beobachter, today publishes what it terms an attack on “Jewish capital in Germany.” Displaying prominently a picture of Max Warburg, noted Jewish banker of Hamburg, the anti-Semitic organ claims that Warburg, is “working out a system which would enable Jewish financiers to control Germany.”
