The Nazi government policy of discouraging Jews from remaining in Germany was emphasized today, on the day of the arrival here of Sir John Simon for his conversations with Hitler, in a number of articles in the Nazi press and in a speech delivered by the Nazi leader, Herr Bloedorn, at peasant conference in Pomerania.
“The Jew is a perpetual enemy of the “Aryan.” We must therefore see that the Jew should not be given any assistance,” a leading article in the Nazi press said today.
SEEK JEWS’ CAPITAL
Herr Bloedorn, in his speech before the peasants’ conference, indicated that the aim of the Nazi government is eventually to deprive the Jews not only of their rights but also of their capital.
“If the Jews are left without work and without money, they will have to leave Germany,” the Nazi leader said. “We must get the idea out of our mind that there are some decent Jews. There are no decent Jews.”
Aiming apparently to impress Sir John Simon that there is no Jewish oppression in the country despite the “Aryan” paragraph, some of the Nazi papers today published figures showing that that there are still 3,000 Jewish doctors employed in the Sick Funds.
“When we take into account the fact that in Berlin 40 per cent of the doctors today are Jews, compared with the 52 per cent when we came into power, it is obviously Jewish insolence to speak of oppression,” the Deutsche Wochenschau, a leading Nazi publication says.
