But as there has never been stich propagation, recent allempts made by certain quarters to arouse hostility against National Socialists living abroad must be taken as an attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of Germany because the political and eneral Ideological orientation German citizens abroad is a matter that affects Germany alone.
