The sensational revelation that Dr. Ley, Nazi leader in Germany and head of the so-called Labor Front, is of Jewish origin, is made today in the Weltsblatt here.

The Weltsblatt reports that an “Aryan” editor in Berlin named Herzog was arrested for declaring that he is unable to understand how Dr. Ley, despite his “non-Aryanism,” is allowed to remain one of the outstanding Nazi leaders in Germany. Dr. Ley is known as one of the radicals of the Streicher type in the Nazi movement.
