JEWS IN GERMANY

LEADED OF DRIVE REPORT OF RECENT SPEECH BRITISH BROADCAST ATTACKED (Received August 18. G. 35 p.m.) LONDON. Aug. 17 A message from Berlin states that the official press attacks the British Broadcasting Corporation's broadcast report of Herr Streicher's speech at the demonstration on Thursday, declaring that London had slandered Herr Streicher. Tho Minister of Propaganda, Dr. Goebbels, telegraphed his congratulations to Herr Streicher for his " uncompromising struggle to purify Gorman blood." Jews have been ordered to have tho central organisation of Jewish culture Controlled by the State. It has been arranged for concerts, lectures and other cultural activities to be confined to Jews, who must not mix with Germans. The Daily Telegraph's Berlin correspondent states that Dr. Goebbels, in opening the German Radio Exhibition, at which a bewildering display of uniformed bodyguards was present, referred to a short-wave service from Berlin transmitted in English and other languages, and emphasised that it was intended to counteract foreign press reports of the conditions in Germany. Visitors were to be allowed to broadcast provided they should prove to be of Aryan descent and should satisfy the Brown Shirts that their discourses would be suitable. As a climax to a day of propaganda, during which most of the Jews in Berlin strictly obeyed a warning-to remain indoors, *20,000 cheering Nazis were admitted to the Sports Palace by ticket on Thursday and heard the head of the campaign against Semitism, Herr Julius Streicher, launch a new "drive." Herr Streicher declared that it was no concern of the foreign press if Germany cleaned up her own house. He added: " The Jews have their own God. Jehovah, but we have nothing to do with Him."
