CRITICISM OF U. s.

BERLIN, Nov. 18-Much criti-
cism has been expressed editorially
by German newspapers on the at
titude of the United States in the
purely domestic situation" arising
from putting the Jew into his
proper sphere in Germany
Here are a few quotes selected
at random.
Some 1t humorouosly enough, 1t is
the absolute truth. For instance the
paper Volkischer Beobachter says:
1T is inconceivable that Americans
are not yet aware of how much
they themselves suffer from the
Jewish pest, but they will now be-
come aware after New York re-
peaded its greatest laugh in CEN
turies-What is to become of this
people?"
The paper was referring to the
recent Marian War scare that was
started by the Columbia Broadcast
ing System.
Another referring to the. recent
explosion on the German ship VAN
couver decried it as sabotage: 1T
cannot surprise us because we have
become used to too much of that
kind in the land of gangsters."
This was taken from the German
paper Borsenzeitung.
One remark which was PUBLISH
ed in the West German Beobachter
referring to the actions of Secre-
tary Hull, said: "Hull behaves like
a boy who comes home from school
and still insists that his accom-
plishments are excellent"
