A document with all the earmarks of rank treason. against the German Nazi state is being circulated in Berlin.
This circular, signed by the so-called German Freedom Party, has been received at the Berlin offices of a number of foreign correspondents.
It claims the party comprises Catholics, Protestants, Socialists and Democrats, as well as members of the Nazi Party, who seek to struggle against the economic policy of self-sufficiency which is ruining German trade.
The circular demands fair wages for all and the protection of every religion, non-political justice, free speech and freedom of the press.
