The Swedish Ministry of Justice announced today it had decided to prosecute Einar Aaberg, notorious Swedish anti-Semite who for years has mailed vast quantities of anti-Semitic literature from his headquarters here throughout the world.
Aaberg will be tried on charges of violating the law against the distribution of anti-Semitic literature. Ministry sources said that at least five of Aaberg’s pamphlets were considered illegal.
The Conference of Swedish Bishops adopted a resolution condemning anti-Semitic demonstrations anywhere in the world. The resolution emphasized “the duty of the church to stress Christianity’s age-old debt to the Jewish people, and to fight racial discrimination and terror.”
The parliamentary members of the Center Party-Farmers Union last night called for more stress in the schools on education against racialism. Unless “objective education about Nazism is increased, ” the members of Parliament stated, “supplementary directions must be issued” to increase such education.
