A Propaganda Ministry official, Dr. Ziegler, today listed four alleged “main causes” that prompted the world to “reconsider” the Jewish problem.

Addressing the College of Politics, a section of the Berlin University, he named them as:

1.–“Disintegration of the liberal regime” (in Germany);

2.–“Growth of Jewish influence since the industrial revolution;”

3.–“Controlling position gained by Jews through influencing public opinion as well as cultural and industrial life in countries of adoption;”
