[Article by Julius STREICHER on the "coming popular action" under banner headline, "Beat the World Enemy"]
The same Jew who plunged the German people into the bloodletting of the World War and who committed on it the crime of the November Revolution, is now engaged in stabbing Germany, recovering from its shame and misery, in the back. It should be accomplished with the same methods with which World Jewry [Alljuda] committed the crime of the World War. The Jew is again engaged in poisoning the public opinion. World Jewry is engaged again in slandering the German people as a people of Huns and barbarians. For weeks the Jewish press in France, England, America and Poland spread its lies to the world that the eyes of the Communists who are captured in Germany are being gouged out, that protective-custody prisoners [Schutz-haeftlinge] are being tortured to death and that Jewish pogroms are carried out. And again the Jew stirs up the foreign nations, who are thus deceived and cheated, against Germany. And in order that the awakening Germany, the Germany of Adolf Hitler, should collapse at the very start, the racial comrades of the Jews who live in Germany conduct a shameless boycott campaign abroad against German products. "Do not buy German merchandise!" yells the Jewish press-clique to the world. And: "Judah declares war against Germany!"
Why is all this? Why the hate of the Jews against the new Germany? A new Germany was heralded by the bells of Potsdam. A Germany which shattered the hope of the Jews that they would be able to continue their lives as drones and bloodsuckers on the German people without being checked. The Marxist and bourgeois parties protecting the Jews [Judenschutzpartei] lie battered on the ground and with them the Jewish hope is shattered that they will be able to reconquer their lost power over

the German people from within. Hence the Jewish fury. Hence the Jewish hatred. Hence the Jewish atrocity accusations and boycott agitation abroad.
But even this last hope of theirs shall be frustrated! Millions of Germans longed to see the day on which the German people would be shaken up in its entirety to recognize at last the world enemy in the Jew. World Jewry intended to do harm to the German people and has done good. At 10 AM. Saturday 1 April, the defensive action of the German people against the Jewish world criminal will begin. A defensive fight begins, such as never has been dared before throughout the centuries. World Jewry asked for the fight, it is to have it! It is to have it until it shall have recognized that the Germany of the brown battalions is not a Germany of cowardice and of a submission. World Jewry is to have the fight until victory shall be ours!
National Socialists! Strike the world enemy! And if the world were full of devils, still we must succeed!"
