Reprisals against those who are “guilty of conspiracies and against all their accomplices” is threatened in a leading article in the Voelkischer Beobachter, personal organ of Chancellor Hitler, dealing with the Zionist Congress. The article is signed with the initials A.R. which stand for Alfred Rosenberg, chief of the Foreign Affairs Division of the Nazi Party.
Despite the fact that the German Zionists are not participating in the Congress and that the Judische Rundschau, organ of the German Zionists, in a leading editorial appealed to the Congress to refrain from anti-German declarations and that even the German Zionist officials left Prague in order not to lay themselves open to Nazi reprisals, Rosenberg declares that the “London castle of the Zionist leader, Melchett, is actually the center of the world Jewry for the anti-German boycott.”
ZIONIST BOYCOTT
Rosenberg insists that the Jewish boycott is the Zionist boycott and bitterly attacks Lord Melchett, stating, “Alfred Mond’s anti-German attitude at the Versailles conference does not prevent the German Zionists from worshipping Melchett” The late Alfred Mond was the first Lord Melchett and father of the present lord.
“Germany,” Rosenberg warns, “will watch closely the Congress developments in the conviction that while the real intentions will not be disclosed in the public speeches, secret resolutions will be adopted along the lines laid down by the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.”
