A warning that anti-German boycott activities in Holland will end disastrously for those who are carrying them on is sounded today in the Westfaclische Landeszeitung.
For some time, the newspaper says, “unscrupulous elements, along with the Jewish emigrants, have been inciting masses of the Dutch people systematically against a state and its subjects whom Holland is not only bound by ties of blood but also by trade politics.” The cutting of these bonds would result in an irreparable loss to both countries, the newspaper declares.
It further charges that certain forces are carrying on underground propaganda to bring this about, being hindered to do so openly by the rise of Fascism and anti-Semitism in Holland.
“By the most refined methods the lower strata of the people are being propagandized, and woe unto the German artisan or business man who has his shop in the workers’ quarters,” where some “open opposition still appears occasionally.”
Every Dutchman of insight is against such tactics, says the Nazi newspaper and warns of revenge.
