The Children’s Newspaper, an English publication, writes as follows on Nazi Germany:

In Bremen the Nazi Governor denounces the Bible as trash. A number of Christian ministers who will not bow to Nazi dictation are in prison or in concentration camps.

As for the Jews, their humiliation and oppression continue in full rigor. For more than half a million men, women, and children life has become an intolerable degradation, a disgrace to the name of Germany, and a crime against humanity which has shocked the whole world.

Germany is following Italy in beginning the training of children at eight years of age. The child of eight is to enter, voluntarily, the Young Folk organization and to remain in it until 14. The Hitler Youth Group is then expected to take the young life and train it until 18. Then the youth passes to the Storm Troops, the backbone of the Nazis. At 20 there is conscription in the Labor Battalions and the Army. The essence of it all is discipline from eight years old continued throughout life.
