The national church movement in Germany has adopted for the election by Protestants of a General Synod on April 11 the slogan, “For Christ and against the Jewish spirit, for freedom of conscience and against spiritual slavery, for church peace and against racially foreign teachings,” the New York Times reported today from Berlin.

Dr. Alfred Rosenberg, bitter critic of Christianity, has centralized the training of all Nazi functionaries and Hitler youth leaders by the foundation of an “Academy for Weltanschauung (World Outlook),” the Times said.

Meanwhile, racial propaganda in the public schools has now reached the point where in common and grammar schools the only reading books used are a series in which, according to an official statement, the central theme is race.
