German Speaker Scores
Treatment of Ne

Berlin, Aug. 23-(ANP)-Speak-
ing before $4,000 Nazis here We'd
nesday night julius Streicher, king
Of Germany's Jew haters, in discus
sing the criticism in America Of the
Nazi's treatment of the Jews. scored
the Americans for their Inconsistency
based on the treatment accorded
Negroes in the States, especially the
Southern states Of the Uniter States.
Streicher declared that no country
that sat idly by and saw citizens who
had won their rights Of citizenship
on the battle fields as " IA as

general progress and advancement
Of the country, lynched BY predjudic-
ed and maniacal mobs should, raise
its voice in protest against the treat

Germany.
eve do not kill Jews in Germany
declared the speaker. Perhaps they
would like for US to do so, that is
the Jews, but we have other and
more civilized methods of Furnishing
them. In America, however, Negroes
are killed by mobs without fear Of
punishment and for the most trivial
reasons. Six have been lynched IN
the southern states during the past
few weeks and only the sending of
troops to the scene stopped the
wholesale lynching of II Negroes in
South Carolina. In no case, have
the lynchers been punished. Yet
Germans are being criticized by
Americans for their inhumane treat
ment Of the Jews.
Negroes in the United States, in
most Of the States, are forbidden to
marry whites legally, just as we are
attempting to prevent the marriage
Of Jews and Germans. And whenever
a Negroe marrfes a white woman

prior to her marriage to her Negro.
husband, she is described as of the
lower social order. But white men
consort with Negro women freely
even in the southern states, which
accounts for the thousands, perhaps
millions of mulattoes in the United
States"

and business leaders, finds a parallel
in the way Negroes in the Southern
States who, after building up large
and lucrative businesses, and pro-
fessional men who attain wealth
through their professions, are drive

any make-shift reason and In many
cases beaten and Inundated before
they are forced to leave the homes
and businesses they have establish
ed, which in the end is due to the
Jealousy Of the whites in the par
ticular section.
Jews are not permitted to attend
theatres operated by Germans in
this country and in the United
States, the same proves to be the
lot of Negro Americans in America.
Negroes are prohibited and segre
gated in the theatres in southern
states and even in the capitol of the
Uniter States, Washington, I'd. G.
They must live at their W hotels,
eat in restaurants owned and oper-
ated by them or by Greeks for them.
They are denied the right to vote in
Democratic primaries, despite the
fact that thousands Of them living
in the south are better qualified ed
ucationally and otherwise then the
whites whose white face qualify
them for the franchise. They must
attend separate and in most cases
inferior schools in the southern
