The recently concluded world Jewish conference in Geneva is vehemently attacked today as a gathering of international Jewry aimed at threatening the position of the National Socialists, by the “Voelkischer Beobachter,” Nazi organ.

The paper devotes the entire front page to this attack under an across the page streamer headline in red type.

The “Beobachter” quotes from the addresses delivered at the Geneva conference by Georg Kareski, head of the Federation of German Jewish Communities and Dr. Nahum Goldmann, Radical Zionist, one of the organizers of the conference, as evidence that German Jewry was represented at the conference.

It uses the address delivered by Dr. Kareski to launch an attack upon the von Papen government on the ground that it is pro-Jewish.

The paper states boldly: “We do not deny the assertion made at the world Jewish conference in Geneva that Germany is now the chief exporter of anti-Semitic agitation throughout the world, including North and South America.”

It emphasizes that the London press “is full of reports to the effect that the world Jewish conference stressed chiefly the point that the Jewish situation in Germany was the center of the conference discussions.”
