A resolution favoring the Christian Socialist policies, without obvious anti-Semitic slogans, was adopted by the leadership of the Austrian Catholics in connection with the sessions of the all-German Catholic conference meeting here. This is taken to mean that Austria desires a veiled, but not a brutal, anti-Semitism and quiet discriminations against the Jews.
In addressing the conference at the opening, Cardinal Innitzer criticized the “false paths taken by the wild and noisy Nazi revolution”. He declared that he preferred that the Catholic intelligentzia capture the teaching posts, the editorial offices, the political tribunes and the economic life of the nation thus counteracting the realism and intellectualism of an unbelieving generation which was responsible for the collapse of Western civilization, and had prepared the ground for the Nazi revolution.
