NAZI RACIAL THEORIES

AMERICAN MINISTER’S ATTACK

“MUMBO-JUMBO OF DANGEROUS

NONSENSE”

NEW YORK. February 13

Ridiculing the Nazi racial theories as “pure scientific faking,” the United States Secretary of Agriculture (Mr H. A. Wallace), in a speech on Lincoln’s birthday, aimed the most outspoken criticism levelled at Germany since Mr Harold L. Ickes’s speech at Cleveland last December. Mr Wallace deplored the treatment which great scientists received from the totalitarian States, where they were exiled or sent to concentration camps, while “others who call themselves scientists are willing to play the dictators’ game by twisting science into a mumbo-jumbo of dangerous nonsense in order to teach that the German race and nation are superior to all others, thus implying that Germany has the right to dominate all others.”
