election demonstrated further how
right the Reichstag was at its Nurn-

franchising the Jews. and how right
the government was in depriving cer-

Na1 leaders, comparing yesterdays
results with those of previous plebis-
cites and elections under the Hitler
regime, pointed out that the opposition
previously varied between and 10
per cent.
Now, they said, the 12l per cent of

cast by persons who, in ignorance,
marked their ballots in the wrong
manner.
In other words, with elimination of
Jews and TRAITORS" from the electorate,
the Reich now was virtually 100 per

The fact is certain New Deal econo-

The funny part is that Mussolini
