Despite the belief that no further anti-Jewish propaganda would be conducted by the Nazis within Germany, Dr. Johann von Leers, the leading authority on the Jewish question, today delivered a bitter attack against the Jews at a meeting in Dusseldorf.
“The exclusion of Jews from all state offices is only the first victory in our battle. The fight must be continued. We must carry it further against the Jewish spirit,” Dr. Leers said.
CLAIMS NEW FRIENDS
Denying that Germany’s anti-Jewish attitude has damaged the commercial interests of Germany, Dr. Leers said that what counts most is the sympathies gained of many eastern countries.
“We have gained the sympathy of many eastern states in our fight against the Jews, and the dawn is coming also in the western democracies,” he stated.
Echoing Dr. Leers is an article which appeared today in the Dusseldorf paper, Volksparole, which says that “the Jewish question is the crux of the world problem.”
“Many people,” the paper writes, “make the mistake of judging political, cultural and economic events only by their external aspects. This is the only reason that sinister powers like Jewry have been able to gain so much influence. We must all do our part to unmask the Jews. We must all learn to have solid knowledge of the Jewish question. With implacable will we shall succeed in crushing these sons of the desert, finally and completely,” the paper concludes.
