Propaganda for the spring employment campaign of the Nazis is being conducted in Nuremberg and all through the Franconian province along the lines laid down by Julius Streicher, bitter anti-Semite and editor of the Nuremberg weekly, Der Stuermer, a survey by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency established today. Streicher will be remembered as the organizer and prime mover in the April 1 boycott on the Jews last year.

Streicher has been one of the influential Nazi leaders who have persisted in their demands for the complete boycotting of the Jews despite the more moderate stand of a wing of the Hitler cabinet.

NAZIS FOLLOW STREICHER

Meetings of the Nazi traders and artisans’ organization the Hago, are being held frequently. The chief aim of the Hago is the ousting of Jews from trade and commerce. Speakers at the meetings of this group reiterate that “the Jewish problem will be settled according to the demand of our leader, Streicher.”
