Frick Sees World Adopting Nuremberg Laws Some Day

The Nuremberg laws will some day be emulated by countries the world over, it was stated today by Minister of the Interior Wilhelm Frick addressing the first students of journalism at the opening of the Institute of Newspaper Science.

Frick urged the German press to pay the utmost attention to the racial question, declaring that “the Nuremberg laws are especially important. Although Germany now stands alone in her understanding of the racial question we are definitely convinced that the German racial laws in time will become an important part of international jurisprudence.”

Frick freely admitted that the German press is losing readers. He also voiced the opinion that the complaint was justified that “all newspapers look alike under the present regulations.” He concluded by admonishing the press not only to report on the racial legislation but also to assist the Government in establishing the racial origin and tracing the family trees of the entire population.

It was reported in the German press today that Joseph Wertheimer, a seventy-year-old Jew was placed under protective arrest in Kehl-am-Rhine on a charge of “Rassenschande” (race pollution) involving his “Aryan” servant.

Addressing a meeting of German Labor Front members, Dr. H. Muentz, chief of the Labor Ministry’s press department, declared that the German Government is “interested in supplying employment only for ‘Volksgenossen’ (citizens of German spirit). The meeting was called for the purpose of considering new rules regulating membership in the Labor Front. The proposed regulations are expected to be issued within a week.

According to Dr. Muentz, Jews have no right to employment in Germany. The right to employment, he stated, is “an often misused phrase. The right to work is applicable only to “Volksgenossen’, who are the only ones entitled to enjoy labor rights.”
