TERRIBLE DESPOTISM
LONDON, July 8
“There is the most absolute, terrible despotism conceivable in Germany,” said Herr Rudolph Breitscheid, former leader of the Social Democrats in the Reichstag, who was banished by the Nazis, when addressing the National Peace Conference at Oxford. He added, “There are hundreds of separate local dictatorships. The anti-Semitic feeling is due to the hatred of doctors, lawyers and business men to their more successful Jewish colleagues. We are bitterly disappointed by the lack of sympathy from Britain and Italy. Hitler is pacifist because he cannot be otherwise. Europe should act accordingly and institute the strictest international control of armaments.”
