An attack on the Nazi theory of racial superiority and the German treatment of minority peoples has been made by Dr. Alejzije Stepinac, Archbishop of Zagreb and Metropolitan of Croatia, it is reported by the Neue Zuercher Nachrichten.
The paper states that the Archbishop’s address was delivered to an audience of 20,000 which had gathered outside the Zagreb Cathedral, because the church could not hold all the people who wished to hear it. “The Catholic Church,” Dr. Stepinac stated, “can never admit that any one race or one people –because it is, perchance, numerically or militarily strong– should violate smaller races and peoples.”
