NAZIS ANGERED.

Equality of U.S. Negroes. Berlin, April 10. Unable to forget the victories of the American negroe s in last year’s Olympics, the Hitler Elite Guard has launched another attack on Harlem (New York) and United States negroes generally. The “Blajck Corps,” the guard’s official organ, carries a display of Harlem night club photographs, notably those of the so. called Lindy Hop. The paper comments: “Negroes simply cannot be civilised. Wouldn’t tt be better to civilise democracy and its ideas of equality? In America all men are equal. Negroes can even acquire the title of doctor. They go Shout elegantly clothed in European style. If outraged farmers did not occasionally hang one of them this picture of complete equality would be undisturbed. “However, a doctor’s title and a double-breasted suit prove little. Americans know it, so they are not surprised when Harlem negroes create a dance which shocks every white man in New York with its obscenity. On the one hand equality of all men; on the other, the Lindy Hop—a mixture of cannibalistic abdominal contortions and obscenity. Such a reckoning Limply does not balance.” Apparently the “Black Corps” is holding up to America the Nazi treatment of Jews, whereby a portion of the population has become secondclass citizens with only limited rights before the law.
