The hope of readjusting the German Jews as agricultural workers in Germany will never materialize, Dr. Robert Ley, leader of the German Labor Front, declared today in an appeal issued to the German nation. The appeal was issued in connection with the proposed colonization of German Jews on the Belgian frontier in the Aachen district.
“The principle of German soil must be combined with the racial principle”, Ley declared, “and the life of the German nation depends on the extent of the coordination of both principles in eliminating the Jews from the German land.”
