Goering’s Visit

The visit which Goering, the Nazi minister, is making to Poland coincides with the entrance of the Nazi regime into the third year of its power. It emphasizes that the Nazis are laying great hopes on the Poles, as far as their future foreign policy in the East is concerned.

It was the Polish government which, during the first months of the Nazi regime, took sides with the Jews. It was the Polish government which was first in the British and American press, with a list of Jewish victims of Nazi terror. It was the Polish government which encouraged, before any other government, the idea that Jews should boycott German goods.

Now things have changed. Not only has the Polish government reversed its policy with regard to the Nazis but, according to the cables from Warsaw today, Jewish newspapers are being confiscated for commenting unfavorably on Goering’s visit to Poland. The name of Hitler is today held sacred by the Polish authorities.

With Goering’s visit to Poland it is quite clear that Germany has embarked on a policy of developing friendship with Poland, with a view to later attacking Soviet Russia. One does not need to be an accomplished diplomat in order to feel that Goering’s visit to Poland means eventual preparation for war on the eastern frontier, where millions of Jews reside on both sides, on the Polish as well as on the Soviet.

When Dr. Rosen, the head of the Agro-Joint, was recently asked whether there is no war danger in the area of Biro-Bidjan, his reply was that nobody can tell where the Jews face a greater danger of war, in the Far East or in the Near East. The present visit of Goering substantiates Dr. Rosen’s asssertion.

Having reclaimed the Saar, Nazi Germany is now plotting to reclaim other areas. The countries which will have to give up these other areas may be promised by the Nazis a compensation which may lead to an invasion of Russia and to war. Mr. Goering is the harbinger of this forthcoming war.
