A warning to Nazi speakers “to weigh each word” when attacking Jews on racial grounds was issued today by Dr. Gross, the Chief of the Reich’s office on racial problems.
“We must consider the reaction which our speeches on race produce on public opinion abroad,” Dr. Gross says in his warning. “It is insufficient to base our arguments on the racial question merely on what we know to be correct. The whole world is ready to use our expressions on racial theory for anti – German propaganda. Therefore, it is essential ‘to weigh each word.’ “
Dr. Gross especially warned teachers on the importance of presenting the racial theory in a careful manner. Simultaneously, he emphasized the importance of preventing admixture of alien blood with the German people.
