Contradictions in the Soviet policy with regard to the Nazis, particularly on the question of anti-Semitism, were cited today in a Moscow dispatch published by the New York Times.

The dispatch reported that “Professor Mamlock, “Professor Mamlock,” film depicting the horrors of Nazi anti-Semitism, was on display at the agricultural exposition in Moscow. The film has been barred in Moscow theatres since conclusion of the Soviet-Nazi agreement. Posters advertising the picture, the dispatch said, “are one of the first thing to strike the eye of visitors from all corners of the Soviet Union.”

At the same time, the correspondent pointed out, the Moscow press published at considerable length the Reichstag speech of Chancellor Hitler, including his reference to the necessity of solving the “Jewish question,” described by the dispatch as a “particularly unpalatable suggestion for the people of the Soviet Union.”
