In May 1934, local German Nazis in Haifa organized propaganda meeting with open Hitlerist propaganda. Foreign Germans come as "tourists" join in. The British authorities knows about it, but chooses to ignore.<ref>[https://www.nli.org.il/en/newspapers/dmt/1934/05/04/01/article/30/ Der Moment - דער מאָמענט, 4 May 1934 —נאציס ארגאניזירען פאליטישע מיטינגען אין א"י ] [Nazis organize political rallies in E"Y (Palestine)].</ref>

Colonel Josiah Wedgwood speaking out, on May 29, 1934 in the House of Commons:<ref>[https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1934/may/29/palestine-loan-bill#S5CV0290P0_19340529_HOC_539 PALESTINE LOAN BILL. (Hansard, 29 May 1934).
Parliamentary Debates (Hansard).: House of Commons Official report. (1934). United Kingdom: H.M. Stationery Office, [https://books.google.com/books?id=0b4tAAAAYAAJ&q=%22Mein%20Kampf%E2%80%9D p. 115].<blockquote><small>I must give one other illustration—from Transjordan. The Amir wants to have the Jews there, and the Jews want to go there, but the Government will not let them go because, they say, it is not safe for the Jews in Transjordan. I think they might have invented a better excuse than that. In what country is it safe for the Jews if you take that line of argument? It is not safe for them on Clap-ham Common. It is safe enough for the English, and the whole world is safe for us. Why? Because we can hit back. We have made the world safe for the English, not by police, not by armies, but by arming the people themselves. The worst thing we have ever done in Palestine, worse even than our emigration distinctions, was when the Jews were being massacred and we, at the request of the Grand Mufti, almost at his orders, lined the Jews all up and disarmed them because they were Jews. That is the sort of thing which people remember. It was not under this Government, it is true, but you cannot expect that anybody in that country will look for justice or hope for better things as long as you have that spirit ruling there. I sometimes think that the feeling has now become pro-Nazi. Hitler's "Mein Kampf" goes to Palestine, and is sold freely. The whole book is a denunciation of the Jew—all lies and abuse. At the same time there is a book published in this country called "The Brown Book of the Hitler Terror." When that got out to Palestine it was banned. It is allowed in this country, but there it is legal to abuse the Jews but not legal to abuse the abusers. Then they were visited by Herr Frick. He stands among the half-dozen best Jew-baiters in the world. He goes to Palestine by the permission of this Government and sees everybody there. I wonder if he paid £60 as a tourist before he was allowed into that country.</small></blockquote></ref>
