Nazi Defence of Unmarried Mothers "EXTRA WIVES" THEORY

(By Telegraph-

(Reeeived 8, 11.55 a.m.) LONDON, March 7. The Dajly Herald asserts that the German leaders are unceasingly camPaigning for more babies for future cannon-fodder and are systematically educating the nation to accept the idea of "extra wives". High officials who are continually hinting at the necessity of a new attitude towards unmarried mothers inelude Dr Ley, who demanded that the old-fashioned prejudice against illegitimate children should be abani doned.

Unmarried motherB, he says, must be granted respect and protection similar to married mothers, which the latest Nazi Law translates into effect by decreeing imprisonment for men responI sible for illegitimate children and who refuse aid to expectant mothers, both materially and nientally enabling them to feel socially equal with wives. The journal Race is openly advocating acceptance of the idea that all unmarried women have the right to have children, adding that many healthy women can never hope to have husbands owing to there being insufficient men.
