For the first time in months a direct attack against Jews by a Nazi cabinet minister appeared today. Richard Walther Darr’s, Nazi Minister of Agriculture, in an article in the Deutsche Zeitung, declared that all former German political parties were founded by Jews, who made “their political marionettes dance for selfish Jewish end.”
Darr’s said that the “Jew, Stralil, founded the Conservative group; Marx and La Salle, Marxism, while Liberalism is nothing but the Jewish enthronement of egoism.”
“The antithesis of all this egoism based only on Jewish conceptions is Nazism,” Darr’e declared, pointing out that Nazism “is proclaiming the principle of blood and soil in the agrarian sphere, where the Jew profits from every crisis.”
