Germany has not expelled the Jews but has only “broken their political predominance,” Julius Streicher, Nazi overlord of Franconia and leading anti-Semitic agitator of Germany, declared yesterday in a press interview.
Streicher’s explanation of the Jewish program of the National Socialist movement came in answer to a question from one of the correspondents as to whether Streicher believed other countries should emulate the Reich example and expel Jewish citizens. “Of hundreds of thousands of Jews here, only a few hundred have emigrated,” Streicher asserted. This took place, he explained, not because they were compelled to do so, but because of an “evil conscience.” He declared nevertheless that it is his belief that “the Jewish problem will have to be solved internationally.”
MOSLEY IN DANGER
Referring to Sir Oswald Mosley, British Fascist leader, Streicher declared that Mosley’s reserve on the Jewish question, that is, his failure to admit openly and unqualifiedly the adoption of an anti-Semitic stand by his organization, had been a strategic measure. Mosley, according to Streicher, now realizes that this reserve is no longer expedient. If it is only a tactical manouver, Streicher declared, Mosley is in danger of alienating the support and confidence of his anti-Semitic followers.
