No anti-Jewish disturbances took place yesterday during the opening of the Reichstag, notwithstanding the allegation of the Communist press that the followers of Adolph Hitler were preparing excesses emulating the first opening of the Reichstag two months ago. Against the Communist allegations, the press of the National-Socialists maintains that the Communists were anxious to provoke anti-Jewish excesses in order to compromise the National-Socialists.
Order prevailed the entire day inside and outside of the Reichstag. The National-Socialist deputies abstained from pronounced anti-Jewish speeches, but the National-Socialist press continues its systematic campaign against the Jews.
The National-Socialist organ Angriff today publishes an article by Joseph Goebbel in which the Nazis leader says; “International Jewish capital governs the coal industry. German Jewish wholesalers prevent a reduction of prices. The Jews are ten times richer than the Christians. They are parasites sucking the weak German body, but the patience of the starving nation will burst and will take the necessary measures.”
