The revelations made by the League of Nations Commission of the existence of widespread slavery in Liberia are being exploited by the Hitlerist press to work up feeling against the Jews by alleging that the whole of the slave trade is being carried on by American Jewish capitalists. No one thought such things were possible in the Twentieth Century, the “Voelkischer Beobachter” writes, and on top of that we find that the Liberian Government in its defence states that similar conditions obtain in the neighbouring league of Nations State of Abyssinia. There is only one thing, the “Beobachter” says, that the League of Nations Commission is silent on, and that is that the entire slave trade between Africa and Arab financed by American Jewish capitalists.
