Slovakia Communist Paper Assails ‘zionist Centers’ in Europe. U.S.

Pravda, the leading Communist daily in Slovakia, recently published a virulent attack against what were described as “Zionist centers in London, Vienna, New York, Rome, Tel Aviv, Paris, Brussels and Munich, complemented by emigrants from socialist countries,” according to the International Council of Jews from Czechoslovakia with headquarters in London. These “centers” are charged with “spreading on behalf of international Zionism anti-Communist activities across the globe like the bacilli of an infectious disease, disseminating the seeds of hatred, vicious racialism and anti-Communism.”

The writer of the article, Svatopluk Dolejs (using his pen-name, Jevgenij Jevsejev) was, during World War II, an editor of the Nazi weekly “Aryan Flight” published in Prague, and has remained one of the leading anti-Semitic writers of the post-war period. Among his other literary activities, he has contributed to the Czech edition of the anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist pamphlet entitled, “Beware Zionism” used in the Czech educational system.

Dolejs maintains that Western Zionists are actually pursuing their own aims under the cover of the third chapter of the Final Act of the Helsinki Conference. He also alleges that two-thirds of the “700 to 800 million dollar budget of the World Zionist Organization has been earmarked for anti-Socialist activities.

According to Dolejs, the “Zionist centers” scattered throughout the world exert influence over the British Broadcasting Corporation, Radio Free Europe, the West German “Deutsche Welle” and a variety of broadcasting stations in the United States and Israel.
