\lews Flashes About Germany \'t York.—There is a widespread belief in certain Nazi circles in Berlin hat t ere will be a Nazi party, contest* [ nk - t presidential election of 1936, in he l sited States, Edgar Ansel Mowrer, [ Berlin correspondent of the Chi cago Daily News, who incurred the en- ! n itv f the Hitler government because he iti'i-tcd on telling the truth, declared , n an interview with the Seven Arts Featurt* Syndicate. Mr. Mowrer said that \azi leaders abroad believe that Ger man-.\mericans here should be induced to help rganize such a party. The Ameri can ••rite department is in possession of a ma" "f evidence relating to this plan and ^ther Nazi activities in the United States, Mr. Mowrer believes. He expressed the belief that while the anti-German boy- c tt uould embarrass the Nazi regime :t would not result in its overthrow so >ng as the Hitlerites held the Germans :n the grip of a passionate and almost religious frenzy. “The great task of Americans,’ he said, “is to prevent any thing like Nazi-ism from spreading here.” Me pointed out that while he had found •nme pro-Nazi sentiment here already he elieved that the bulk of Gennan-Ameri- rans in Chicago and in New York were pposed to Hitlerism. Mr. Mowrer said that the Jews of Germany were doomed unle-s there was a major change there which he does not foresee. He charged I’rf'iilcnt von Hindenburg with being partially responsible for the government's anti-Semitic policy because of his pas sive silence ,and declared the real source of the anti-Jewish prejudice is Hitler himself. Seventy-five per cent of the anti-Semitism in Germany would disap pear at once if some 50 of the chief Nazi leaders were overthrown, Mr. Mowrer remarked. Merlin.—The new German penal code, now in the process of being adjusted to the Nazi philosophy, will make it a crime for a German to be married to a per-om of "alien race,” that is a Jew, ac cording to a forecast of the code out lined—by Hans Karl, Prussian minister 'f justice before the Nazi Lawyers’ Con- ere»v Under the new criminal law both parties to such a marriage would be pun ishable while the union itself would be iedared null and void. Karl indicated that the Nazi regime is determined to •iigmatize such marriages as race of- fenses. I n the new statute the terms 'Aryan” and “non-Aryan” will be dis carded as too vague and indefinite and r replaced by “members of alien consan guinities.' - High treason, which the code Jctine> as any attempt to overthrow the present regime, will be punishable by icath Simultaneously Karl announced ,riat all Nazi officials seeking to obtain rnar r age licenses must present documen- ra r\ proof that their intended wives are of Aryan descent. The same order ap plies to members of the voluntary labor service. The Prussian minister of edu cation has also decreed that the schools must devote three hours a week to the study of "eugenic science” in the inter ests of improving the race. Berlin.—The suicide epidemic among German Jews has claimed three more notable victims, Werner and Martin Sherer, prominent theatrical impresarios and I)r. I.andsberg, a veteran Zionist and Hebrew scholar. The report of the lat ter s suicide was made public by the Nazi police but it is believed that he was murdered since the announcement of his death came after he had been arrested as a “Communist” and held in police headquarters incommunicado for several days. Geneva.—In a sensational interview with the correspondent of the Jewish Morning Journal, Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Nazi minister of propaganda, admitted that the problem of the German Jews was an international question. In the course of a series of questions put to him by the Jewish correspondent, Goeb bels asked whether the Jews would be ready to regard the problem of the Jews in Germany from a minority standpoint. When the correspondent said he wanted Goebbels opinion, the Nazi leader de clared that the Jews themselves are di vided on this matter and its thereby diffi cult to determine whether they will be regarded as a national minority and pointed out that the Jewish representa tives must therefore present a solution for the Jewish problem themselves be cause it is an international question. T*his interview, the first granted to a Jewish newspaperman, came after Goeb bels had made a lengthy statement to the entire group of correspondents covering the League meetings. In this statement he defended National Socialism as "a higher form of democracy” and asserted that Germany had solved the problem raised by “the excessive influence of Jews on its public life in the most humane way.” Conceding that there had been iso lated excesses by uncontrollable elements, he denied that the Jews had been treated as an inferior race. "It must be remem bered,” he said, "the Jews of Germany were exercising at that time a decisive influence on the whole intellectual life . . . that they made public opinion, ex ercised a decisive influence on the Stock Exchange and were the rulers of parlia ment and its parties. What we do not understand is that while there were pro tests against Germany’s defensive ac tion in this field, there was, on the other hand, no willingness to absorb the excess Jewish population emigrating from Ger many."
