The exodus of the children of Israel from Egypt will be child’s play compared with what we shall do when we start clearing out the Jews, Deputy Wilhelm Kube, the leader of the Hitlerist fraction in the Prussian Parliament threatened to-day, speaking in Parliament.
When we obtain control, he said, the Jews will be cleared out of all State positions. At present the State Ministry is packed with Zionists. All of them will have to go.
We want to warn the Jews who dominate the Stock Exchanges and the press, he went on. should they start any inflation business we Nazis will close down all the Stock Exchanges in Prussia. And if the Jewish press does anything to create an inflation mood, we shall know how to act.
There is another thing we Nazis are going to insist on, he said. We shall demand that the proceedings in Parliament shall be correctly reported. The Prussian people are not going to allow the Jewish Mosse and Ullstein press to drag their name through the mud by their tendentious reporting.
It has been said, he continued, that we Nazis want to bring back the Hohenzollerns. Whether that is true or not, one thing is certain, that it was not the Cohens, nor the Levys, nor the Isidore Weiss’s (the name bestowed by the Nazis on Dr. Bernhard Weiss, the Jewish Police Vice-President in Berlin) who have made Prussian history, but the Hohenzollerns, and the German workers in their thousands would much rather deal with an honest prince, than with a Jewish profiteer.
