The movement to spread Hitlerism in the Scandinavian countries to which the Hitlerist press in Germany has been giving a great deal of attention recently (reported in the J. T. A. Bulletin of the 21st. inst.) has met with a rebuff, the authorities in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, and in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, refusing to admit Adolf Hitler and his Berlin lieutenant, Deputy Goebbels, who had been announced to speak at Hitlerist meetings there.
The Scandinavian Hitierist movement has its headquarters in Copenhagen, where it publishes the “Hajekorset” (Swastika), with the slogan “For the Liberation of the Nordio Races and Against International Judaism”. The leader of the Scandinavian Hitlerist movement is a certain Ejnar Baaben, of Copenhagen.
Adolf Hitler’s brother-in-law, Ernst Goelnike, has arrived in Bucharest to study the situation with Roumanian friends of the Hitlerist movement, Mr. David Israelit, Editor of the “Juedische Presse” of Sziget-Marmorosz, reports on arrival here, stating that he travelled in the same railway carriage with Goelnike from Cluj to Bucharest, and that Goelnike revealed to him his plans, speaking frankly about the Hitlerist movement and its aims.
In Germany, he said, the Hitlerists had lost a great deal of their popularity because after their big victory in the Parliamentary elections of last September they had sat down and adopted an attitude of quiescence in regard to the Jews, instead of starting an aggressive anti-Jewish offensive. This, he explained, is going to be remedied now, by the Hitlerist party proceeding to a big campaign aimed at clearing the Jews out of Germany.
Hitler was acclaimed together with Cuza at an antisemitic conference held at Radautz, in the Bukovina, in the early part of this month (reported in the J. T. A. Bulletin of the 5th. inst.) . Impassioned addresses were delivered, the “Dimineatza” stated, glorifying Hitler and Cuza as the founders of the “Christian League for the Protection of Christian Europe Against the Jewish League of Nations”, and the participants took an cath to follow Hitler and Cuza and carry out their orders.
The disappointment of the Hitlerist storm troops and other Hitlerist supporters in Germany with the inactivity of the Party leaders against the Jews was reported (in the J. T. A. Bulletin of the 21st. inst.) in a statement issued by the Central Union of German Citizens of Jewish Faith, warning German Jewry that the Hitlerist leaders were preparing a new anti-Jewish campaign to regain their lost popularity.
We have learned on good authority, it said, that the Hitlerist leaders have held a Conference at Munich, with Hitler in the chair, at which it was decided to divert attention from the general political situation by whipping up a big antisemitic campaign. After the Reichstag elections of last September, the statement commented, Hitler appeared before the foreign world as a diplomat and an apostle of law and order, but now that the hopes of the Hitlerists to govern the country have vanished, the masses are to be fed on antisemitic propaganda.
