Nazi State and Church Strain Deepens as Emigration Pushes Jews Abroad

Berlin reports a new strain between Nazi officials and the Catholic Church. A pastoral letter by Bishop Konrad von Preysing urged Catholics to resist efforts to remove children to non confessional schools and reminded parents of their rights under the Vatican concordat. Germany negotiates with several Central and South American countries, notably the Dominican Republic, to admit German Jews while Vienna papers attack foreign countries and defend German action. Nazi officials say the Jewish question will be solved with more measures, and the Voelkischer Beobachter runs a lengthy piece on the Mormon parallel in the United States as part of the broader anti Jewish rhetoric.
