A campaign for the sterilization of the Jews in Germany was started today throughout the country as part of the general anti-Jewish drive being conducted in the Reich.
Thousands of posters, reading "Sterilize the Jews," have been mounted in conspicuous places in Bavaria and in other provinces where the anti-Jewish propaganda is conducted more severely than in Berlin and in cities where the Nazis fear foreign observers.
WIVES OF JEWS INCLUDED
The sterilization of those who are married to Jews is also urged in an article which appeared today, allegedly written by an American, Prof. C. G. Campbell of New York. The professor is described as a "well-known anthropologist" and "president of the Society for Eugenic Research."
The article, which is published in the Westphaelischer Landeszeitung, carries the title, "Jewish Parasites." Prof. Campbell declares in his article that the Jews have not passed the Nomadic stage. Unlike Gypsies, he asserts, they always try to profit from the rights given to them as guests in the countries where they reside.
"These parasites," the article continues, "try to destroy social institutions and moral and religious ideas through racial mixture with their hosts."
WOULD VOID MIXED MARRIAGES
The article urges that marriages between "Aryans" and Jews should be declared void and that those who intermarry with Jews should be sterilized.
The theory that only an "Aryan" is fit to act as guardian for an "Aryan" child, has been upheld by the Prussian Supreme Court, according to Deutsche Justiz, and consequently now has the force of law.
According to this legal publication, the court ruled in the case of a father seeking to set aside the guardianship exercised by a "non-Aryan" over three "Aryan" children. The only basis of argument
