Falling in line with the German government campaign against all intermarriages between Aryans and non-Aryans, the thirteenth congress of German psychologists now in session at the University of Leipzig adopted resolutions calling for racial purity and condemning the mixing of blood. The congress declared that intermarriage leads to degeneration of the blood which participants claimed had been established through experiments involving intermarried families.

Encouraged by the government order against intermarriage, the Berlin Volkswart today verbally attacked a foreign diplomat for being married to a Jewess. The diplomat who was attacked is the French ambassador

Francois Poncet, allegedly married to a Jewess whose maiden name was Levy. The Nazi paper declares that the intermarriage explains why Ambassador Poncet recently proceeded to Paris with plans for a project for the French government to open the colony of Madagascar for settlement by German refugees.
