I f Madrid Anti-Semitic
Propaganda Increases

MADRID.--(.1. T. A.)—Viir-
orous anti - Semitic propaganda
is becoming a daily feature in
the Right Wing press of Ma-
drid.

El Signs Futuro, a Catholic
organ in Madrid, is publishing
a series of articles entitled
"The Jewish Conspiracy," The
paper makes use of the old
arguments of the anti-Semites
that the Jews are seeking world
domination.
Other papers charge that the
republic is being Judaized and
poke fun at the minister of edu
cation, De Los Rios, for his al-
legedly friendly overtures to
the Jews. El Debate, the most
important "right" paper in
Madrid, accuses the minister of
education of desiring to forget
the sins of the Jews who cost
the Spaniards so much blood,
and declares that only under
the republic would a minister
fraternize with Jews.
