Kansas City Minister Investigates
Activities of Nuremberg Propagandist
Former Georgian
With Agitators
By Rev. L. M. Birkhead
According to my judgment, the
most effective and the most far-
reaching and vicious Nazi and an
ti-Semitic propaganda is being car
ried on in America under the per
sonal direction of the notorious
Julius Streicher, the world’s fore
most anti-Semite. I have personal
knowledge of his American connec
tions.
When I was in Nuremberg, Ger
many, recently I sought an inter
view with Streicher. For two days
I went back and forth between his
office in the Nuremberg Brown
House and the editorial offices of
Streicher’s newspapers. His secre
tary and his editorial assistants in
formed me that when Mr. Streicher
was ready to see me I would be
notified. Not of course by tele
phone, because no one in Franconia,
where Streicher is governor, is al
lowed to communicate with Streich
er by phone. “Not permitted to
confer by telephone with only the
governor of a German state?” I
asked in astonishment. “That is
right,” they said. “We are not per
mitted even to telephone Mr.
Streicher’s secretary. You see, he
is very busy and he must be pro
tected in the important work he is
doing.”
When I discovered that Streicher
had evaded me and gone to Berlin
I stormed into his newspaper offi
ces and said in a rather indignant
manner: “Well, I have come all the
way from America to find out the

truth ubout Germany. I have read
in the American papers that Mr.
Streicher is a sex pervert; that he
carries a black snake whip which
he uses on his opponents; that he
has made himself rich by his Jew-
baiting enterprise; that he has been
convicted in the German courts of
theft, bribery and embezzlement
and of slander and libel. I shall
have to go back to America believ
ing that these things are true.
Surely, Mr. Streicher, who could
tell me the whys and wherefores
of anti-Semitism, should have seen

me and set me right, if I am wrong.
I shall have to believe that Mr.
Streicher is a sadist and that his
special gift is the spread of porn
ography and the hatred of Jews
throughout Germany. It must be
that Mr. Streicher is afraid; that
he has something to hide ^ from
American eyes. Am I right?”
After this outburst of “righteous
indignation” the editorial assist
ants, through whom I had been
seeking an interview with the im
portant Nazi leader, went into a
huddle. Presently one of them
wrote something on a sheet of pa
per and handed it to me with the
following advice: “We are sorry
that you did not get to see Mr.
Streicher. But he was called to
Berlin on important business. (I
found out later that he went to a
dinner party). But if you will go
to this address you will secure the
information which you want. It is
only a short distance from this of
fice—a few blocks. You will notice
the sign, ‘Fencing School’ over the
door of the office, and, if you will
go in, your questions will be ans
wered.”
I followed the advice of Streich
er’s editorial assistants and sought
out the “Fencing School.” I found
that office in an old building, on
the third floor and in a remote part
of the building. When I walked in
a gentleman said rather gruffly to
me: “How did you get in here?”
When I showed him the piece of
paper on which the editor had writ
ten the address, he smiled and in
vited me into an inner office.
I was informed that I was talk
ing to Paul Wurm, assistant to
Streicher, and that he would be
happy to give me whatever infor
mation I desired. After I outlined
what I had read in the American
press concerning Streicher, Wurm
smiled and began Streicher’s de
fense. “Yes,” he said, “Mr. Streich
er used to carry a whip. He had to
in order to defend himself against
Jews and Communists who fre
quently assaulted him on the
streets. But now,” Mr. Wurm in
formed me, “Streicher only carries
a silver whip which his friends have
given him as a momento of the
days before Germany was civilized
by the Nazis. Now Mr. Streicher
is protected by the German govern
ment.”
“And as for your question about
Mr. Streicher’s sex perversion I
shall inform you that Mr. Streicher
is happily married and has two
grown children,” Mr. Wurm de-
c 1 a r e d with assurance. “Mr.
Streicher is well-to-do, it is true.
But he has made this money out
of his newspapers and his other ac
tivities. All of these charges
against our leader in Franconia,
you should know, are propaganda
invented by Jews and Communists.
But we shall reply to these attacks
on Mr. Streicher with a truth-tell
ing campaign against his enemies
who are Jews and who are being
put where they belong by Mr.
Streicher and his associates.”
When I asked Mr. Wurm about
the part that he was playing in
helping the governor of Franconia
in his “important work,” he replied
with the disclosure of Streicher’s
world plans and purposes which
amazed me and which I have since
discovered Streicher is carrying out
fanatically.
“You see,” Mr. Wurm said, “we
have here an office through which
we contact those who are intei-est-
ed in our work all over the world.”
“What,” I asked in astonishment,
“do you mean to tell me that Mr.
Streicher hopes to carry his anti-
Semitic program into every part of
the globe?”
“Oh yes,” Mr. Wurm said in a
matter-of-course manner. “You see,
we feel that we are getting along
perfectly with our fight on the
Jews here in Germany. But we
have discovered that the conspiracy
of world Jewry is not merely
against Germany but against
every other countrv as well. And,
therefore, to defeat the world con
spiracy of the Jews against Aryan
civilization the Jews must be de-

Secret literature issued by the A.

time is ripe for “real Americans”

The A. B. C. is being organized in
groups of 24, and meetings are held
in a different place each week. The
organization has a post office ad
