Adolf Hitler is becoming popular in England, the “Voelkischer Beobachter”, the chief Hitlerist organ, writes in a big front page report from London. All news arriving in London from Berlin, the correspondent says, indicates how impossible it is for Dr. Bruening to constitute a really stable Government, and British public opinion is beginning to recognise with growing sympathy that Nazi rule is becoming inevitable in Germany. For years our German liberation movement has been libelled in the foreign press by our opponents, who have been spreading the impression that a Hitler Government in Germany would be a world-calamity. This plot has failed. The British press speaks openly now of the near prospect of the Nazis taking over the reigns of Government in Germany, without seeing it as in any way a reaction or a calamity. The British people are realising that the time must come, and they believe that it is coming soon. Among all sections of the British people there is now a lively sympathy with the Hitlerist movement. One need only go out among the people and speak with them to realise that the questions of the moment are the British elections, the crisis and Hitler. The Jewish liberal and the Jewish Marxist papers, like the “News Chronicle” and the “Daily Herald” are trying in their usual way to create feeling against the German rebirth movement, but they are in a minority.
