Spanish translations of the pamphlet “The International Jew,” the author of which, Henry Ford, recently requested the Mexican government to have them withdrawn from circulation, are still being advertised in the Fascist newspaper Vanguardia, here. This paper also ”highly recommends” the Protocols of Zion.
Venguardia openly carries a swastika on its masthead and contains frequent anti-American and anti-Jewish articles. The paper is edited by Ruben Moreno Padres, who was jailed some time ago on the charge that he was connected with Dr. Goebbels Nazi propaganda machine. In an editorial in the same issue that carries the advertisement for the anti-Semitic pamphlets and other anti-Jewish articles, Moreno alleges that his arrest was due to his his having been “sold out to international Jewry.”
