In the J.T.A. report of Nov, 8, it was erroneously reported from Berlin that Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels had written a preface to a 416-page volume, “The Jews in Germany,” published with the sanction of the Nazi party, which is full of anti-Jewish libels. Dr. Goebbels is represented in the book only with a quotation on the fly-leaf taken from a speech made at the Nazi Party Day in Nuremberg in 1933. The quotation reads: “It is not true that we consider the Jew to be the only one to blame for the German spiritual and economic catastrophe. We know all the other causes which led to the downfall of our people. But we have also the courage to recognize his role in this process, and to call a spade a spade.”
