HUNS WAIT
TIME TU
AVENGE
By Associated Press
MEXICO CITY, Aug., 14— By A.
I*.— A “Catechism of Hate” was
printed in the Deutsche Zeitung von
Mcxiko and revenge was threatened
in an article accompanying it on the
day when the delegates of the Genna.i
republic signed the peace treaty at
Versailles. The papers printed in Ger
man, is generally believed to voice the
opinions of the Pan-German, irrecon
eoncilable element of the German col
ony in Mexico. Translations in part of
the article follows:
“The day of revenge of the German
people is not far off. We shall do
good to practice patience until the day
of revenge has arrived. Revenge must
be coldly consumated. In order to pre
pare ourselves quietly for it, we need
ii ‘Catechism of Hatred.”
The “twelve commandments” of the
catechism summarize in brief form
many of the protests which have been
heard from Gorman sources since the
ms of the Peace Treaty became
known. They deny that ^ Geimany
wanted war, assert that Germany wa*«
right in invading Belgium, attack
Kngland for the Blockade of Germany,
aver that Germany's armies were nev
er defeated and declare that Germas
honor is insulted by making Germans
sign admission of their guilt.
In conclusion, the article says:
“These twelve commandments will
tuff ice to prepare us mentally for
The Day’ on which the hour of re
'enge will strike.”
Asked .if the sentiments expressed
:n the Deutsche Zeitung’s article were
those of the entire German colony rn
Mexico, one of the leaders of the Ger
man socialist party in Mexico declared
that they were held only by the olde*1
and wealthier colonists, who dominat
ed both the paper and the colony, but
that a large part of the colony we»v
willing to accept the verdict of the
war and give their support to the new
German government and to recon
traction policies.
