Dr. Vlatko Macek, Croatian leader, today voiced opposition to attempts to introduce anti-Semitism into the Croatian National movement, in a statement published by the Zagreb newspaper, Obzor.
Calling attention to anti-Semitic leaflets which had been distributed in the name of the Croatian Peasant Party, he declared that the party did not judge people by religion or descent but by humaneness and honor.
“We judge Jews and Christians alike,” he added.
