WIEDEMANN EXILED.
OPINION IN BERLIN
BERLIN, Jan. 21. The appointment of Captain Weidemann to become Consul-General in San Francisco is equivalent to a polite paid exile and is regarded here, like Dr. Schacht’s dismissal, as a further victory for the extremists, as Captain W eideinann was notably moderate and formerly considerably influenced Herr Hitler’s major decisions. The announcement of the apopintment coincides with an article by Dr Goebbcls in the Voelkischer Beobachter lashingly declaring that, while the United States lectures Germany on civilisation and liberty, American humaneness expresses itself in lynchings. Its civilisation is marked by reeking political scandals and 11,000,0*10 unemployed. Dr Goebbcls asserts that America S antagonism toward Nazism lias become an affair of high politics. He emphasises that economic measures arc a double-edged weapon.
