* * Herr Streicher and Herr Hitler As reference was
made in these notes last week to the scandal of the continued circulation of the mon- strous " ritual murder " issue of Der Stiirmer, it is only just to give equal publicity to the fact that since then the remainder of the issue has been confiscated by order of the Reich Government. The action was belated, for the issue had obtained a wide circulation and few copies can have been left. Its importance will be judged by its consequences in the future. It is not at all clear yet whether Herr Julius Streicher is to he allowed to continue his excesses as in the past. From that point of view, and in relation not to Herr Streicher but to Herr Hitler, Der Stunner will be closely scrutinized for some time to come. The fact that an anti-Jewish conference is to be held in Nuremberg, where Der Stiirmer is published, in September is of sinister omen. And other papers, like Friderieus are continuing their anti-Semite campaigns with un- checked violence.
