The Swedish Supreme Court has been urged by Minister of Justice Zetterberg to approve a bill now pending in the legislature which would make all persons charged with spreading race hatred liable to criminal prosecution, it was learned here today.
In a message accompanying the bill, Zetterberg said it was necessary to fight racist propaganda, particularly at the present time when thousands of anti-Semitic pamphlets are being mailed abroad from Sweden daily. The proposed legislation would make the mailing of anti-Semitic literature an offense punishable by criminal law.
