NAZI POLICY
RENEWED MORAL PURGE WHOLESALE ARRESTS REPORTED United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received December 18, 7.15 p.m.) LONDON, December 18. The Berlin correspondent of "The Daily Telegraph” estimates that five hundred arrests have been made in the last ten days as the result of the renewed moral purge. Herr Himmler, head of the Secret Police, has 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 they are living in luxury and are squandering funds that should be devoted to the Nazi party. It is stated, in some quarters that the arrests are part of a big scheme by Herr Hitler and General Goering to purge the Nazi party of all national-socialist elements and to discourage the young Nazi idealists who believe that economic socialism is still part of Herr Hitler’s creed.
