The Nazis have managed to inject the Jewish question even into the controversy with regard to the fall of the monarchy in Germany, as part of their election propaganda.
The Nazi press, headed by the “Voelkischer Beobachter,” declares that “the downfall of the Kaiser was due to the shameful blood mixture of the royal family with daughters of Jewish bankers and the transfer of Prussian trade to the Jews.”
Today, the Nazis assert, Chancellor von Papen prefers the domination of powerful Jews. Whereas the old-time dukes and counts had their court Jews, today the powerful Jews have their court dukes and court counts.
Members of the Herren Club, they assert, the Jewish bankers, Herbert Guttman and Kleefeld, brother-in-law of the late Gustav Stresemann, and other powerful Jews, dominate the von Papen government. The nation has submitted to the rulership of the powerful Jews. Therefore it is necessary to overthrow the von Papen government and destroy the domination of the Jews, the Nazis urge.
