PURSUIT OF TRUTH
FOREIGN TO NAZI DOCTRINE (British Official Wireless) RUGBY, Dec. 4. (Received Dec. 5. at 7.30 p.m.) In a leading article on one.of the most appalling aspects of Nazismits suppression of the activities of the free mind —The Times says: "Herr Hitler knows that pursuit of the truth for its own sake is inconsistent with Nazi doctrine and he therefore seeks everywhere, and in his own country first of all, to imprison the mind. The extent to which he has succeeded is already a major tragedy. By sheer violence he has expelled and sometimes killed men of .learning in Holland, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and other States. In those three countries at least he has closed the leading universities and made a point of terrorising the younger generation Such education as is taught in the elementary schools is tinctured with the poison of Nazism."
