Commenting upon the reports of the alleged intention of the Nazi government to ease its attitude towards the Jews, the News Chronicle, a London daily newspaper, says:
The fierce anti-Jew campaign run by Julius Streicher in “Der Stuermer” has now been taken up by a paper of no less standing, the “Angriff.”
Germany’s “Nordic Society,” which says its task is “to unite the Nordic peoples of the world and save Europe from destruction,” held its first mass meeting at Nuremberg.
Streicher warned his audience against “the Yellow, Black and Jewish perils,” and pointed out that “with the approach of dark blood from the South and half-dark blood from the East, the springs of the Nordic race were threatened with being clogged up.”
THE IRON GUARDISTS IN RUMANIA
The Eastern Daily Press, reporting on the situation in Rumania, says as follows:
The Iron Guard, who had been keeping quiet since the assassination of M. Duca, have lately been renewing their activities. Amongst them today, it is stated, were members of Professor Cuza’s anti-Jewish group, and it is declared that demonstration was organized by this group because of the banning by the authorities of a lecture which was to have been given by a professor of the Extreme Right in a hall situated just opposite the Royal Palace.
ASKS MORE AID FOR REFUGEES
Writing on the situation of the German-Jewish refugees, the London Times says editorially:
The Nazi revolution has flung some 65,000 on to labor markets which cannot possible absorb them; and the number is being increased as a result of the plebiscite in the Saar. The fugitives from the Saar do not at present come under the administration of the League High Commissioner, and Mr. Donald is in any case in the thankless position of having to depend entirely upon voluntary subscriptions to help him in his work, apart from a loan of a thousand pounds which the Council advanced to him for initial administrative expenses. It is time that States which are members of the League should reconsider their parsimonious policy in this matter and contribute the quota, very small for each separate government, which would make it possible to cover at least the organization expense of refugee work. A decision will have to be taken by this year’s Assembly of the League. Political, social, and humanitarian considerations demand a sympathetic treatment of the problem. It is to the credit of the Jewish community that they have raised over £1,000,000 for the sufferers of their race.
“Griff,” the novel of the English-Jewish novelist Benjamin L. Farjeon, attracted the notice of Dickens.
