The British secret service and the Jews are the joint targets in editorial attacks by Julius Streicher’s weekly Der Stuermer, copies of which reached here today from Germany.
“The world enemy,” the editorial states, “has his chief seat in England. If we want to defeat the Jew, England must be defeated.” Basing its information allegedly on reports “from our former regular contributors in London,” the paper describes in detail the organization methods of the British secret service as well as a history of the times when “the Jew Delbona, who played a certain part in the fight between Queen Elizabeth and Mary Stuart” laid its foundations.
The article asserts that the secret service is entirely financed by influential Jews who use it for their own ends. A cartoon illustrating the article shows an outstretched hand holding a bomb with the inscription “Secret Service,” while Jews in the background are waiting for the explosion. The cartoon strikingly recalls a similar cartoon published in the Stuermer a few years ago, the only difference being that then it was a Russian Bolshevist holding a Jewish-inspired bomb.
