reason that he is different in body to ourselves. The bodily difference is not the dangerous part of the Jew. We must make it clear to a child that in the strange appearance of a Jew, which is immediately conspicuous to us, lies a soul, which is fundamentally different in all its emotions and manifestations, from our souls. We must point out that the Jew thinks, feels, and behaves in a different manner from ourselves. That his way of thinking, of feeling and of behaviour is diametrically opposed to our morals and our laws.”

Jewry is Criminality

But the fact, that in deceit, usury, murder, etc. Jews see no crime but consider them as acts pleasing to their God when they are directed against non-Jews-will appear most monstrous to our children. At first it will frighten the children and they will shake their heads incredulously. In the same way as millions of people in Germany scornfully shook their heads when the national socialists and foremost of all the "Stuermer" exposed the criminal methods and criminal laws of the Jews. "But deceit, usury, falsehood are sins." A boy in the class will cry out, "We are forbidden to commit them!" The teacher will ask: "Who forbade you to commit them?" "Our conscience. The laws of the State, God."

But if deceit, usury, falsehood, etc. are not crimes, not sin in the eyes of the Jews, then a Jew must have a different conscience, different laws, and a different God than we have, and thus the teacher and his pupils will suddenly find themselves thoroughly involved in the Jewish question and in its most serious aspect.

The manner in which he (the teacher) pursues the question with the children should make clear to them the fundamental reason for all Jewish acts.

One who has reached this stage of understanding, will inevitably remain an enemy of the Jews all his life and will instill this hatred into his own children.

A long while ago-it was still before the outbreak of warRudolf Hess was once called the "Conscience of the Party." If we ask why the Fuehrer's Deputy was given this undoubtedly honourable title the reason for this is plain to see; there is no

phenomenon of our public life which is not the concern of the Fuehrer's Deputy. So enormously many-sided and diverse is his work and sphere of duty that it cannot be outlined in a few words. And it lies in the nature of the obligation laid on the Fuehrer's Deputy that wide publicity hears little of the activity of Rudolf Hess. Few know that many Government measures taken, especially in the sphere of war economy and the party, which meet with such hearty approbation when they are notified publicly can be traced back to the direct initiation of the Fuehrer's Deputy.

All

"Germany alone shall decide German affairs. * the more however Germany must and can expect the outside world to abstain from any attempt to interfere with the internal affairs of Germany or to influence the development (of affairs) in Germany. * * * If we really determine to make ourselves independent of foreign countries, then we shall do it with the fixity of purpose which distinguishes Germany at all times when she feels herself threatened in the foundation of her existence."

No Compulsory System, No Marks System, Rudolf Hess on the Food Question

HOF. 12th October

An Appeal to Housewives

On Sunday evening Reichsminister Hess inaugurated a newlybuilt Adolf Hitler Hall at Hof in the Bavarian Ostmark district. During the festivities Reichsminister Rudolf Hess made a speech, in which he dealt with the problem of supplying the German peo

ple with food and the question of standardizing prices for agricultural products in daily use.

According to the report of the "German News Bureau" he then explained in detail:

* * *

We are prepared, in the future too-if need be at times to eat a little less fat, a little less pork, a few eggs less, since we know that this little sacrifice is a sacrifice on the Altar of the Freedom of our People. We know that the foreign exchange which we thereby save expedites the output of armament.

The phrase still holds good today "GUNS instead of Butter!"

On the National holiday of the German people, at a solemn meeting of the Reich Chamber of Labour which took place in the Messerschmitt Works in Augsburg, were proclaimed the distinctions bestowed by the Fuehrer, "National Socialist Model Factory" and "Pioneer of Labour."

The centerpoint of the celebration was the address by the Fuehrer's Deputy, Rudolf Hess, in which he honoured the distinguished merits of the newly nominated Pioneers of Labour.

If the Fuehrer-thus Rudolf Hess began his speech-honours in regular sequence on the National holiday of the German people, the representative German undertakings by the bestowal of the Golden Ensign and the distinction National Socialist Model Factory, not only is the National Socialist spirit of the individual industrial combines characterized, but the performances of workers and Managing Directors are publicly honoured before the whole people.

The German soldier must understand: for the uniqueness and the abundance of his weapons and of his material, for these he must thank the untiring efforts for many years of Adolf Hitlerbut for their uniform reliability and excellence, for these things he must thank the German creators. And the German soldier is as little likely to forget them as the creators will forget his struggle and his victory.

If already by today, at the termination of the fourth German industrial production campaign, continued Rudolf Hess, so many German factories could be distinguished with the Golden Ensign, it is the emblematical pledging of personality to the conception of the National Socialist Industry and the National Socialist industrial combines which has gained this success. Here, as everywhere, it is the strong individual personality which stands as prototype and involves its surroundings with it. We must never forget that it is not the organization or the type of organization, not the essential conception of the undertaking or the industry which is decisive, the decisive factor is personality, the personality of the Managing Director, the personality of the workman. The organization does not create personality, but the creative and productive personalities make for themselves the organization within which they can develop.

Rudolf Hess answers Chamberlain

"We stand by the Fuehrer's banner, come what will!"

The Fuehrer's deputy again gives proof of England's responsibility.

GRAZ, August 26th.

The 7th Reich session of "Germans abroad", as already reported in another section of this issue, was opened in Graz on Friday evening with a great demonstration on the Trabrennplatz (Racecourse). A culminating point in the proceedings which took place with strong support from the population of Graz was a speech by the Fuehrer's deputy, Reich Minister Rudolf Hess.

Rudolf Hess, constantly interrupted with strong applause from the Auslandsdeutschen (German citizens living abroad) as well as fellow countrymen from the district of Styria, who were their hosts, stressed the unexampled forbearance shown by Germany towards Poland, and the magnanimous offer of the Fuehrer that had endured peace between Germany and Poland.

An offer that Mr. Chamberlain seems to have forgotten. For he says he has heard nothing of Germany's having tried to solve certain acute present day questions by peaceful discussions. What else was German offer then if it was not such an attempt?!

Poland, continued the Fuehrer's deputy, had however not once made the attempt even to negotiate over this offer. On the con

trary, it abused Germany, agitated for war, demanded new German land as far as beyond the Oder, violated the frontiers again and again, and shot down German transport planes.

The responsibility for Poland's lack of responsibility is England's.

And when, cried Rudolf Hess, "the English Prime Minister speaks of 'alleged' ill-treatment of Germans living in Poland, and when he finds it extraordinary that these statements bear a striking similarity to similar statements last year, we can only say that England's attitude this year has unfortunately also a striking resemblance to her attitude last year! And her attitude this year as last year has been construed as giving license to ill-treat Germans living under foreign nationalities, to plunder their possessions and to drive them out of the country. Go to these refugee camps yourself, Mr. Chamberlain, and you will see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears: it is not a question of ‘alleged' ill-treatment-it is a question of grim reality.

Here is bloodshed, Mr. Chamberlain! People are being killed! Innocent people are dying! You can see it for yourself. You will then realize the better what you said in your speech, that nothing can arouse so much indignation in a country as the illtreatment of one's own fellow-countrymen in another land.

The responsibility however (he said) was England's, who spoke of peace, and stirred up war. England, who in all the years had soundly rejected all the Fuehrer's proposals for peace; and not only rejected these proposals, but before and after the Munich agreement built up threat to Germany by arming Czecho-Slovakia. After the Fuehrer had eliminated this seat of conflagration, England induced Poland not to accept the Fuehrer's offer of peace, and to appear as a new threat to Germany from the east.

The more reasons England blares forth as justification of her enmity towards Germany, the less we believe her. There is only one real reason:

Jews and Freemasons want a war against this hated Germany, against the Germany in which they have lost their power.

In spite of all England's efforts she has not succeeded in prevailing upon Soviet Russia to complete the encirclement by the aggressors.

Germany and Soviet Russia have made their contribution to the peace of the world by their Non-aggression and Consultation Pact.

"We Germans", said the Fuehrer's deputy, as he concluded his address which had been received with fervent enthusiasm, "we Germans face the future in a calm and steadfast frame of mind,
