The proceedings in the libel case of Max Warburg against Theodor Fritsch were continued on Monday. Attorney Bartming, counsel for Mr. Warburg, declared that Fritsch’s anti-Semitism was a result of his feeling of inferiority.
The policy of the Warburg house was not “to train Jewish diplomats.” Figures show that of the 330 employees in the Warburg house, only 50 are Jews, the attorney stated.
Mr. Warburg declared: “We never intruded; we were called.”
Theodor Fritsch admitted that he could not prove his charges, declaring: “I have been misunderstood. I expect to be convicted, but a later generation will understand me.”
The verdict will be rendered on January 26.
