"The board of a conservative magazine at Harvard University known for its muckraking suspended the publication Sunday, citing the printing of "reprehensible, abusive and demeaning material." The magazine, The Harvard Salient, which was founded during the Reagan era and revived four years ago after a decade-long absence, is editorially and financially independent from the university."
"The article, written by David F.X. Army, a Harvard student, in the magazine's September edition, included the line, "Germany belongs to the Germans, France to the French, Britain to the British, America to the Americans." The article argued that Europe's native populations were being displaced by migration from Africa and Asia. In a January 1939 speech that Hitler delivered to the Reichstag, in which he predicted that another world war would lead to the annihilation of Jews in Europe, he said, "France to the French, England to the English, America to the Americans, and Germany to the Germans.""
"In a separate article in The Harvard Salient, Richard Y. Rodgers, the magazine's editor, said the similarity to the Hitler line was not intentional. He wrote that "neither the author nor the editors had recognized the resemblance and that the phrase long predates the Third Reich.""
A conservative Harvard magazine paused publication after printing material the board labeled "reprehensible, abusive and demeaning." The board, composed of conservative alumni, did not specify the triggering incident. The publication printed a line asserting "Germany belongs to the Germans, France to the French, Britain to the British, America to the Americans" and argued that native European populations were being displaced by migration from Africa and Asia. A similar formulation appeared in a January 1939 Hitler speech. The magazine's editor said the resemblance was not intentional and stated the phrase long predates the Third Reich. The piece also invoked values tied to "blood and soil."
