The American Jews are afraid of Hitler, is the heading over a report from New York, referred to throughout as “Jew York”, appearing in the chief Hitlerist organ, the “Voelkischer Beobachter”, of a Jewish meeting held there, said to have been addressed by Mr. Louis Lipsky and Lieut. Governor Herbert M. Lehman, who are reported as having dealt exclusively with the menace of Hitlerism to German Jewry. Lipsky and Lehman, it says, are working to the end that America should support Bruening against Hitler, but the American press and people are already looking to Hitler as the next leader of Germany.
