Chilean newspapers report a new wave of anti Jewish propaganda is sweeping Chile.
The anti-Semitic weekly La Patria, which stopped publication last November for lack of funds, has reappeared on the streets. The paper, which calls itself the “organ of Chilean Fascism,” attacks the Jews, praises Hitler and ridicules the Allies and the United States.
In South Chile, a violent anti-Semitic leaflet has been distributed attacking the Jews and asking for their deportation from Chile. Liberal newspapers report that the anti-Jewish propaganda in South Chile is financed by the German colony. At the same time, a German daily is publishing anti-Jewish articles in its Spanish edition. The paper has a large circulation, selling for half the price of other newspapers.
