MENZEL’S ATTACK
AUSTRALIAN HOSTS “UNCHRISTIAN HATREDS” TENNIS STAR’S OUTBURST (Reed. Dec. 29, 9 a.m.) LONDON, Dec. 28. Broadcasting from Berlin to North America on Christmas cheer, the former Czech Davis Cup tennis player, Roderick Menzel, described his experiences in Australia on Christmas Eve in 1934. He criticised his dinner hosts’ “unchristian hatreds and insults to the totalitarians,” and described his own spirited defence of Germany.
He added that Australia’s antitotalitarianism was the result of cheap journalists stirring up unfounded hatreds, agitating and inciting the population.
