Plans for an anti-Jewish and anti-Soviet propaganda campaign, along the lines followed by the Nazi Party Congress, were announced today by Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels.
Dr. Goebbels disclosed plans for the campaign, the most ambitious and comprehensive yet attempted, at a meeting of his department heads immediately after conclusion of the Congress.
The Reich propaganda chief explained to his aides that he was giving them a free hand in the methods to be employed, declaring:
“The Winter propaganda crusade is at hand and all our forces must be mobilized for it.”
Dr. Goebbels also revealed that new methods would be introduced into German commerce this Winter, “despite Jewish propaganda abroad.”
Jewish circles expected today, following the conclusion of the congress, that new anti-Jewish measures would be taken shortly through administrative channels.
New anti-Semitic legislation, which had been believed possible, was not promulgated at the congress, leading to the belief the steps against Jews would be taken by extending existent legislation, rather than by new laws.
