In the current issue of the “Deutsche Zeitung,” organ of the Nazi organization in the United States, issue is taken with the New Yorker Staats-Zeitung and non-Hitlerized members of the German community, who celebrated at a benefit affair for the Deutsche Ring two weeks ago.
The article declares that the swastika, which was used in the decoration scheme of the Central Opera House, was sullied by the nature of the program, which entirely neglected to mention the improvements made by Adolf Hitler in New Germany.
Trouble brewing for many months-between the Friends of New Germany and the publishers of the New Yorke Staats-Zeitung gained expression in the article, which voiced outright resentment against the fact that 2,000 German Americans filling the hall could so completely ignore Hitler. There were no Nazi anthems, no Hitler Hailing, no anti-Semitic utterances at the celebration, and some of the compositions rendered by the artists were of German Jewish origin.
