Julius Streicher, Germany’s anti-Semite No. 1, is expected here today for a special anti-Jewish campaign in connection with the general election for which the Nazi forces in the Free City are being mobilized.
The election campaign here is assuming the same character as the Nazi plebiscite drive in the Saar, causing great anxiety among the Jewish population. Nazi speakers are utilizing the forged “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” in addressing their election meetings, in order to stimulate anti-Jewish propaganda in the Free City.
ADDRESS HUGE RALLIES
“Those who will not vote for us in the elections are nothing but Jewish agents acting in accordance with the Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” Nazi orators asserted today, addressing huge gatherings.
Dr. Bernhard Rust, the Nazi Minister of Education was among the speakers in Danzig today. His trip here from Berlin indicates that the Hitler government has mapped definite plans to capture Danzig during the forthcoming election.
VIOLENCE FLARES
Acts of wholesale violence occurred today in this city as a result of the excited atmosphere created by the Nazi speakers. The police department in Danzig is now practically under Nazi control since the administration of the city is controlled by a Nazi majority.
Polish papers were confiscated here yesterday for reporting the impertinent answer which Arthur Greiser, Nazi head of the Danzig Senate, made to the League of Nations High Commissioner for Danzig, Sean Lester, when Mr. Lester complained to him about the Nazi activities in Danzig. The Nazi president of the Danzig Senate told the High Commissioner that he would soon be kicked out of Danzig “just as High Commissioner Knox was kicked out of the Saar.”
