NAZIS’ MORAL PURGE
LEADERS' NEW SCHEME 500 ARRESTS REPORTED LONDON, Dec. 18. Tiie Daily Telegraph’s Berlin correspondent estimates that 500 arrests iiave been made during the past 10 days, as the result of a renewed moral purge. Herr Himmler, head of the secret, police, cast his net far and wide, including members of the Nazi Party. Other accounts suggest that the arrests are primarily political members of the Nazi militant and other Left Wing organisations, the police alleging that they are living in luxury and squandering funds that should be devoted to the Nazi Party. It is stated in some quarters that the arrests are a big scheme by Herr Hitler and General Goering to purge the Nazi Party of all the National Socialist elements and discourage young Nazi idealists who believe that economic socialism is still part of Herr Hitler s creed.
