A new anti-Semitic party has been formed in Austria by an influential section of the Christian Socialist Party which seceded from the parent body.
The new party is to be known as the Social Circle and its anti-Semitic coloring was made evident today with the publication of its official program.
The program presents a mixture of the doctrines of Dr. Karl Lueger, Austrian anti-Semitic leader, and Adolph Hitler, the German Nazi leader.
The Party aims, through a combination of Luegerism and Hitlerism, to form a bridge to enable the Catholics to co-operate with the Nazis.
A number of prominent Catholics head the new party.
