“Oppose anti-Semitism, no matter of what nature, because it is un-Christian and unpatriotic,” Dr. Buomberger, cantonal chief of public safety, counseled today at the closing session of a debate, which had continued for several days, on the subject of racial disturbances caused by members of the Nazi Swiss Front.

A transcript of the debate was shown to all members of the City Council, including Dr. Seiler, Christian Socialist. In it Dr. Buomberger denounced Swiss Front supporters for their attempts to terrorize the country by their violent anti-Semitism and their noisy street demonstrations.
