The New York Post commenting editorially on the new drive against the Jews in Germany says:

The surest sign that Nazi economic policies are going badly in Germany is the renewal of the anti-Semitic drive. The attention of the citizens of the Third Reich must again be distracted from the constant fall in the standard of living by the sure-fire technique of whipping up race hysteria.

All Jewish publishers are ordered to sell their businesses. Mass arrests of Jews are begun and prisoners are herded into “schooling camps,” euphemism for concentration camps. Meetings of Jews for discussion of their problems are banned and broken up. Education of Jews is so sharply restricted it nears the vanishing point.

Nazi leaders are caught in a dilemma of their own making. They have been trying to break the world boycott against Germany by pretending that repression is at an end. But while they have peddled this transparent lie over their borders, within their country they have been compelled to renew the persecutions to drag out the old racial scapegoat again to explain their failure.

Almost every development in the new Germany adds fire and strength to the spontaneous world boycott.

SEES DANGER IN ARAB-JEWISH RELATIONS

The Irish Times, in an editorial on Palestine, says:

Political trouble is more likely than economic. Although there is better feeling in and around Jaffa—thanks to the employment of Arab labor by Jewish settlers—yet the relations of the two races throughout the country at large shows no sign of improvement. At present the Jews are reasonably contented, but the Arabs are full of grievances. Last December an Arab deputation waited upon the British High Commissioner, and urged that the Jewish invasion was endangering the Arabs’ civil and religious rights. It was rebuffed; and the rebuff has caused real annoyance. Since then, a new faction, called the “Party of National Defence,” has come into existence, with a louder and more militant policy than any of its predecessors. Whether it will come to anything nobody knows.

BRITISH FASCISTS EXPLAIN ATTITUDE ON JEWS

The British Union of Fascists has published in Everyman, a London weekly, the following clear-cut attitude of their Mosley party towards the Jews:

We have never invited the Jews to join our movement, and similarly we have never attacked the Jews on account of their race or religion. Insofar as individual Jews are identified with the social and economic malpractices which we are determined to destroy, then so far, but no further, need they fear the Fascist march to power.
