Julius Streicher’s first official statement on the Jewish question since taking over the administration of Franconia was made today to the effect that violent measures are no solution of the problem.
“If I am defamed in the foreign press as the bloody tzar of Franconia,” Streicher, who publishes the anti-Semitic Stuermer, declared, “I wish to reply before the world that I have repeatedly pointed out the Jewish problem cannot be solved illegally.
“We do not want lawlessness. The Jewish question is too great and too grave to be solved through lawlessness which only retards the solution.”
About a week ago the Stuermer published a special issue devoted to hair-raising stories of “ritual murders of “Aryans” by Jews. Chancellor Hitler was appealed to by the executive committee of the organization formed last year to represent German Jews.
