HITLER AND JEWS
OFFER TO UNITED STATES CROCODILE TEARS ALLEGED [BY CABLE—PBESS ASSN.—COPYBIGHT.] (Received August 12, 9.30 a'm.) BERLIN, August 11. In a remarkable interview’ published in New r York, and re-cabled to Berlin, Chancellor Hitler demands to know “why the.world sheds crocodile tears over a lot of small minority Jews. Where was the world’ conscience, when millions of Germans suffered from hunger, and two hundred thousand w’ere driven to commit suicide?” ‘ i . ’ , / /•
Hitler continues: “I ask Mr Roosevelt and the American’people if they are ready to take the polluters of the German Christian soul. I’would willingly give ■ them 'a free ticket’.. and fifty pounds pocket money; to be rid of them. Shall 1 allow thousands -bf German blood to perish to enable, the Jew’s to live in security? Am T responsible ’that the “suicide army of post-war Germany was thrice as large as the first American Expeditionary force?” - “The Times’s” Berlin, correspohdbiit emphasises that the annual .post>vf£r suicides in Germany w’ere less than in 1913. NEW SHIPPING ORDER. [OFFICIAL WIRELESS.] RUGBY, August 11. Further information is awaited regarding the position of foreign shipping companies in Germany, in the light of the German Foreign Exchange Control Department’s new order. Berlin Press reports state that the order will be rigidly interpreted, and in consequence passages by foreign vessels will in future be freely booked to Germans only, up to a sum of 200 parks, which is the maximum amount which may be exported without express authorisation. It is added that such authorisation will be withheld unless the applicant showed good reason for travelling by a foreign vessel. The order also applies to foreigners, who may book a passage in a foreign vessel, only ■if they import money for fares. The possibility of representations being made by the British Government under the Anglo-German Commercial Treaty, 1924, if these discriminatory measures are put into effect, is discussed by the newspapers, but the matter has not yet been raised officially, and hopes are entertained that negotiations between the shipping companies may result in a modification of the order. PRESSURE FROM POWERS. LONDON, August 11. Newspapers express the opinion that Britain, France and Austria take: a serious view of Herr Habicht’s broadcast. The “Daily Chronicle” says: If Germany obviously has no intention of fulfilling her promises, Britain might consider an original proposal for independent representations to Germany and the possibility of joining the two other signatories of the Four Power Pact in a joint protest or of appealing to the League of Nations. WURTEMBURG’S OPPOSITION. BERLIN, August 11. An official statement declares that there is most serious resistance to the Nazis in Wurtemburg coming, not from Marxists or Communists, but from Liberal Democrats, who are socialled Nationalists. The statement warns offenders that they will be arrested and expelled from the Party. Already: a septuagenarian General named Taichmann, has been removed from the post of President of the Wurtemburg Officers League, because he has disobeyed a police order to dissolve a portion hostile to the Nazis. The statement declares that liberalism among w’ar veterans will be' fought in a ruthless and terrible manner. AUSTRIAN VICTIM’S FUNERAL. VIENNA, August 11. Schwaninger was accorded a State funeral, the body being escorted to the cemetery by nearly 2000 police and soldiers. Doctor Steidle, speaking at the graveside, declared: “God imposed the mark of Cain, but the Nazis themselves have chosen to bear the brand of the Swastika.” There were special precautions, including the arrests of many local Nazis and their detention for 24 hours. Schwaninger’s death was the climax of a series of anti-Austrian outrages and aggression, which, the police are convinced, were instigated by responsible Nazis, and were deliberately encouraged by Bavaria, which, thus far, has not officially expressed regret for the murder, nor has it attempted to discover the perpetrators. It is believed that the Bavarian police which are. always patrolling the region where he was slain, could have arrested the assailants within 12 hours if they had wished.
