King of Italy Affirms
Friendship for Jews
,

' SALONIKI 1,1VNS) — King
Victor Emanuel of Italy indi-
cated that he was out of sym-
pathy with Italy's new racist
policy when he wrote a letter
to Samuel Levi, prominent
Greek Jewish publicist. Pub-
lished in the Messagero, the
biggest Sephardic daily in the
Balkans, the king's letter em-
phasized that he was always a
friend of the Jews and that he
has not changed his attitude.
The letter was regarded as
being particularly significant
because it was written after
the adoption of the racist and
anti-Semitic policy in -Italy.
The king's letter was in reply
to a letter from Levi who had
sent the monarch a copy of
his (Levi's) new book on the
achievements of the Jews in
Italy.

In an English translation from
the original German, Harwood L.
Childs, associate professor of
politics at Princeton University,
has prepared a most revealing doc-
ument in "The Nazi' Primer: Offi-
cial Handbook for Schooling the
Hitler Youth," presenting in its
original form the Bible of Nazism
for the youth of Germany and
the complete text of the program
which aims at the extermination
of the Jews and the domination
of Germans "as far as the Ger-
man tongue wags."
This important document, pub-
lished by Harper .8z Brothers, is
supplemented by an illuminating
commentary by the eminent schol-
ar, the former United States Am-
bassador to Germany, William E.
Dodd. It is illustrated with the
facsimiles of the original covers
and title pages of the primer, and
there hi a preface by Prof. Childs,
the translator.
Teaches Hatred for Jews
The explanatory preface by
Prof. Childs tells how the youth
of Germany is taken into the Nazi
fold, how it is trained from earli-
est childhood for service to the
machine that aspires to rule not
only Europe but every portion Of
the globe where there are Ger-
mans. We are warned by Prof.
Childs that with Jesuitical thor-
oughness the young men are to be
drilled to become fanatical preach-
ers of the gospel"; that "it is a
mistake to suppose that the Na-
tional Socialist outlook on life is
simply a hodgepodge of incoher-
ent ideas. The party is busily
at work preparing textbooks for
use in its schools. Outstanding
National Socialist professors from
the universities are brought to
these castles to give special lec-
tures."
By means of charts and maps,
the Hitler youth is trained to be-
lieve that Jews and Christians,
Masons and Communists, are the
implacable opponents of the Nazi
ideology; that "under Jewish
leadership Marxism intends to
bring together everyone 'who
bears the face of man'," that "the
worldwide order of Free Masons
conceals its Jewish plans for
ruling tW world behind the. catch-
word 'Mankind' or 'Humanity'."
There is emphasis that "a Jew
both in Germany and in all other
countries remains only a Jew,"
and throughout the primer there
is bitter venom poured out
against the Jewish people. The
first Nazi efforts, according to
the primer, must be to "aim to
remove the Jews from the cultural
and economic life of our folk."
Nazis Seek to Control World
But the most striking admission
in the entire book is the state-
ment in Chapter VII: "The Ger-
man population area extends 'as
far as the German tongue wags.'
It extends far beyond the political
frontiers of our Reich and in-
eludes all German states as well
as the compact German popula-
tion areas which are in the pos-
session of non-German states...
The German culture area extends

WASHINGTON, D. C. (WNS) — Creation of a "powerful sabotage machine" and
"a vast spy unit" to work for the Nazi government in the United States and to prepare
for "any eventuality that may arise such as a state of war with America or an effort
to prevent the United States from delivering arms or supplies to a Nazi enemy" are
