Chancellor Hitler’s Voelkischer Beobachter printed a sharp editorial attack on Lord Allen of Hurtwood, known as a friend of Germany, for criticizing the treatment of Jews in Germany during a debate in the House of Lords. He declared that German colonial aspirations were unfortunate in view of the existence of a minority question within the Reich’s borders. The paper assailed “the astonishing ignorance” of Lord Allen in describing Jews as German minority. The editorial denied that Germany would mistreat natives, and invited Lord Allen to study the English treatment of the Irish and the Boers.
