The “Reichspost,” Christian Socialist pro-government organ, today joins the Nazi press in attacking the four American Jewish students who were injured during anti-Semitic clashes at the University of Vienna recently.
The American students injured are not real Americans, says the paper, but merely East European immigrants who received their naturalization in America. The “Reichspost” mentions by way of illustration the name of Jacob Glenn of New York, one of the four injured.
Glenn, it asserts, was born in a Lithuanian village, Meretinje, and naturalized in New York. The other three are undoubtedly Americans of the same category. Therefore their names were withheld from publication, the “Reichspost” concludes.
