That the impending changes in the citizenship laws of Germany will be based on the race principle, was indicated today in a speech delivered by Reichs Minister of Justice, Dr. Wilhelm Frank, before the Deutscher Rechts Front, the organization similar to the Labor Front, and which embraces all those having to do with the dispensation of justice in Germany.

Citizenship will be replaced by membership in the nation and racial membership, Dr. Frank declared, adding amid cheers “we German lawyers who profess anti-Semitism are not Jew-haters, but lovers of the German people.”
