NAZT JAIL CATHOLICS, THREATEN
JEWS IN new TERROR DRIVE
by PIERRE vanPAssEN

JOIN the AA9gVVV A@S~A -
erals, pacifists, newspaper editors
and social workers these last
weeks in the concentration camps
Of Germany.
The priests are all accused OF
being in a secret-plot with Mos
row to overthrow Hitler and insti-
tute a Communist dictatorship.
The Nazi papers say they had TO
be put in protective custody to
save them from the peoples
wrath. The truth is that the Hit
Ter government has for long been
looking for a pretext to grab the
funds of the Catholic church as
It grabbed the savings Of the peo-
pie in the popular working-class
banks.
First various priests were ar
rested on q charge Of smuggling
funds out Of the country. Now
the Nazis are alleging an "alli-
ance" between the Catholic church
and the Communist international.
When the treason charges are
proven" before the Peoples Tri-
bunal (if the priests are ever put
on trial) the NaZis will say that
such q subversive organization as
the Catholic church does not de-
serve anything else but to be
muzzled and put under the thumb.
OF course the funds Of these
Communist" plotters may then be
safely confiscated and Hitler and
his gang will have a few hundred
million more marks to buy bomb
ing planes and tanks for the war
Of grab against France and the
Soviet Union, which they are pre-
pairing for the spring Of 1887.
While the Catholic population is
thrown into terror by the whole
sale arrest Of clergymen, the Jews
too are absolutely terror-stricken
with the tone Of the NaZi papers
since the murder Of Wilhelm GUT
loft in Switzerland.
Hitler said at Gustloff's funeral
that he will hold all the Jews re-
sponsible for that murder. But
the Swiss, French, English, Aus
trian and Czechoslovakian press,
even the conservative papers, re-
plv that Hitler's own terror is re-
sponsible for that murder. These
papers say: It is no wonder that
after three years Of relentless per-
secution of the Jews in Germany
at last one highly neurotic boy
lost his mental balance for q mo-
ment to commit a murder of re-
venge on the first Nazi he saw.
The amazing part is indeed that
it had not happened before.
Hitler also claimed that the
Nazis had never committed q
single murder, a statement which
even the United Press calls canal
ing. For the Maxi regime Is the
most murderous government ever
seen in Europe since the darkest
middle ages.
In Munich the Jews sit in their
houses with the blinds shut, for
Hitler and his satellites announce
q day Of vengeance. 1.-THE long
knives are going to come into &C.
ton against the Jews" the party
papers announce. In the smaller
communities Jewish families 6iI
in their homes as in q beleaguereC
city. Local Nazi clubs have for
hidden the butchers and grocers Il
sell any foodstuffs to the Jews
The Jews are to be starved.
From many points come reports
Of kindly people placing foodStuffl
At the back doors and in Window
Of Jewish homes. In spite of al
the excitation to murder the Jew!
in one great massacre, something
which is advocated every week b.
official Nazi party papers, such 81
Stuermer and Judenkenner, th'
people still protect the Jews. In
their hearts the German people
especially the German working
does not hate the Jews, no morI
than the working class Of France
or America.
The prosecution Of the Jews anC
Of the Catholics in Germany toda!
is the last attempt to stave Of,
the peoples wrath against tn,
Maxi gagnsters who are lootinl
the German people Of its las
pennies to build up war machin'
for a smash and grab adventur,
in Russia.
