A renewed wave of anti-Semitic agitation has begun to flood the Hitlerite press in various parts of Germany in connection with the forthcoming elections to the Reichstag. The propaganda, which is widespread, accuses the Jews of “immoralizing Germany.” A number of individual papers are even demanding the expulsion of the Jews from the country.
One of the Hitlerite papers published in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, recalling that the Jews were driven out of that town in the fifteenth century, says that “the time has come for a second expulsion.”
In the meantime the local papers reveal that Alfred Hugenberg, Nationalist leader and publisher, has consulted with Ernst Scholz, leader of the Peoples Party, which was founded by the late. Gustav Streseman, concerning the possibility of creating a coalition government of the National Socialists and the Peoples’ Party after the September elections.
The “Berliner Tageblatt” vigorously attacked Dr. Scholz last week for his failure to reply to a question whether it was true that he was planning to form a joint government with the anti-Semitic National Socialists. Some credence was lent to this report by virtue of the fact this Dr. Scholz has abruptly broken off his negotiations with the recently organized Constitutional Party.
