...this power will be used, beginning this week when the Winter Relief Fund starts to operate, Nazi Minister of Interior Dr. Wilhelm Frick hinted when he declared: "Modern humanitarianism, which allows the weak and degenerate to propagate their kind, is nothing less than cruelty to the nation!" Quietly last week Nazi relief workers let it be known that families tainted with cancer, tuberculosis and particularly venereal diseases will be taken care of last, while the healthy destitute receive first call. Jews will receive not a pfennig of the Chancellor's 500,000,000 marks, but have the privilege...
Last week the following were news: Signius Wilhelm Poul (William) Knudsen, 54, head of General Motors' Chevrolet division, was made executive vice president in charge of all GM's manufacturing operations in the U. S. and Canada. A Dane from Copenhagen, he emigrated to the U. S. at 21, got a job in a shipyard, worked for Erie R. R., then shot up as an assembly man for Henry Ford. Quitting as manager of all Ford plants in 1921, he soon joined Chevrolet. A tall, slightly stooped man with a big walrus mustache, Motorman Knudsen is a genius...
Prussia's martinet Premier, beefy General Hermann Wilhelm Goring, would rather see Jews support racehorses than other Jews.

Jews may still own racehorses, enter them in Prussia's smartest meets, even win prizes-but Aryans must ride...
...recent action of the German government in its withdrawal from the Disarmament Conference at Geneva and from the League of Nations bears a striking connection with a statement by former Emperor Wilhelm which the CRIMSON published about a year ago. At that time the Hitler regime was merely in the offing, but it was rumored that former imperial momentum was backing the Brown Shirt leader. The action taken by Hitler Saturday points in the direction indicated by this statement of the former War Lord which is reprinted here...
...Romanticism transformed the young writers of Germany. As in a dream they responded to the mystic inspiration of Fichte, uniting in the quest for the blue flower, seeking the impalpable of the ideal. Friedrich Schlegel, opium-wafted Buddha, contemplated the concentric circles of an impenetrably intricate philosophy. August Wilhelm Schlegel, poseur, literateur, bon-viveur, set forth to win poetic glory, is remembered for his translation of Shakespeare. Ludwig Tieck's majestic, melancholy search for the essence of fairyland beauty produced an impossible, capricious comedy, "Puss in Boots." Kleist awakened from his dream of tearing from Goethe's brow the garlands...
