Despite German consular announcements of the dissolution of all Nazi Party headquarters in the United States, National Socialist organizations, after a meeting last Saturday night to outline an extensive program for continuation of their activities, are holding daily sessions in secret new quarters, the Jewish Daily Bulletin learns.
Speakers at the Nazi meeting, held Saturday night before a crowd of almost three hundred persons in the Kreutzer Hall, 228 East 86th St., proclaimed the urgent need of supporting Germany abroad, in “a world where the fatherland is faced on all sides by mortal enemies.”
BOMBING THREATS RECEIVED
While Nazi activities in New York will become more vigorous with increasing membership, the party’s movements will be held secret, spokesmen declared. The location of new Nazi headquarters will not be divulged to other than members of the party, it was said.
The chairman of the Saturday night meeting explained the reason for strict secrecy as an attempt to avert “threatened Jewish demonstrations” at their headquarters. It was said that a great number of anonymous letters have been received by the party, in which future “bombing parties” were announced.
Amid unrestrained cheers the program of the German Reich was outlined to the audience. The threat of war with France, Poland and Russia was discussed in a fiery oration by the principal speaker of the evening, and the audience was warned that they must be ready to make great sacrifices for Germany.
MEMBER FEARS BOYCOTT
“We must be ready to meet aggression on the part of leading European powers as well as boycott from the United States,” the speaker declared.
When a member of the audience interrupted the meeting to state that an American boycott would ruin his business and the enterprise of many other persons present, the speaker reminded him that this would be a trivial cost for progress in Germany, which has already exacted so much in lives and property. The audience cheered.
Besides the regular Saturday meetings of the Nazi Party and friends of the organization, the party will be in session daily at the new headquarters. They will continue to disseminate propaganda designed to favor the Hitler regime and to deny published accounts of persecution of Jews in Germany.
While party members are German citizens, a large number of naturalized American citizens favoring Hitler have been invited to attend next Saturday’s meeting at the Liederkranz Hall, 111 East 58th Street. Their support is asked for the new German Government.
