Good-by to Lemons

In Nurnberg last week the Frankische Tageszeitung, a prominent Nazi organ, announced:

"Too much of the nation's wealth is rolling across our frontiers for foreign-grown products. The time has come to take leave of that saffron-hued old sweetheart, the lemon. She is no longer needed, for Germany has a previous substitute in its indigenous rhubarb. We have been neglecting it up to now. but it shall come into its own. It is a blood purge and a curative remedy of genuine German quality. Our lemons, then, shall be atoned with German rhubarb.

"Is not German blood linked with German soil? Only the products of our native soil can be used to create German blood. Through them alone can delicate spiritual aspirations be communicated to the blood, and through it to the body and the soul. They are essential to our German being, which is without equal in the world because there is only one German soil.

"Lemon, we need thee no longer."
