Der Stuermer, anti-Semitic weekly published by Julius Streicher, reappeared yesterday following its suspension for eighteen days because of its attack on President Masaryk of Czechoslovakia.

The new issue revealed no moderation of the paper’s anti-Semitic Program, for it featured a demand for the state’s attorney at Breslau to reopen the inquiry into the murder of two children in Breslau in 1926. The paper asserted that the death of the two children was a ritual murder perpetrated by Jews.

The issue of Der Stuermer, which brought Chancellor Hitler’s displeasure down upon it, also contained a vicious attack upon President Roosevelt.
