A campaign for the extermination of Jews in the entire Far East was proclaimed today by the Japanese General Shoiton, according to a report broadcast by the German radio stations.
Explaining the reason for this campaign, the Japanese General is quoted in the German broadcast as stating to the Japanese press that the Jews in the Far East are as dangerous to Japan’s interests as are the United States and Great Britain. “We have broken the British and American influence in Eastern Asia, we must, also, not overlook the Jewish influence there, otherwise our military victories will not be properly exploited,” says a statement issued by General Shoitou to the Japanese newspapers.
“The Jewish conquest of Eastern Asia,” the statement continues, “began with the arrival of David Sassoon and with his securing certain trade monopolies in China in 1967.” The statement concludes with the allegation that the Sassoon family in 1939 controlled some 270 hotels “employing thousands of Jewish emigrants.” The Japanese General also charges that “the Jews control 11 daily newspapers and a number of periodicals in China.”
