The future of Germany will not belong to the Nazis, declares Michael Williams, editor of the Catholic magazine, The Commonweal, who has recently returned to New York from an investigation of the persecution of German Jews and of Hitler’s attempt to control the Protestant and Catholic churches in Germany, in a statement issued through the American Committee on Religious Rights and Minorities.
“Far too great a proportion of the German nation is opposed to the Nazi doctrine and the methods of its application,” he states. “There may be a restoration of a monarchial system; or there may be another leftwing revolution; or, as a third possibility, the Nazi regime may be compelled to modify its policy in regard to racial and religious intolerance.”
