In 1922 , the newspaper expressed its admiration for Benito Mussolini , who had just assumed office : '' The very strong man , that Mussolini undoubtedly is , is exactly what the misruled Italian people need '' . In 1933 , the newspaper advocated that Denmark follow Germany 's example and replace petty party politics with the stability of an authoritarian regime . The paper considered the German Weimar republic to be a failure because of its lack of stability , and was sympathetic to Adolf Hitlers coming to power and the shutting down of democratic institutions . In March 1933 , the paper wrote : '' Only dry tears will be cried at the grave of the Weimar Republic ... As odd as it may sound , the only 12-year-old German constitution with its one-chamber-system , its low electoral age — 20 years — and proportional representation is already antiquated . '' The editorial of 17 May 1933 , stated that '' ... democratic rule by the people , as we know it , is a luxury which can be afforded in good times when the economy is favorable . But restoring the economy after many years of lavish spending requires a firm hand ... '' On 15 November 1938 , the editorial commented on the Kristallnacht with the words : '' " When one has studied the Jewish question in Europe for decades , the animosity towards the Jews is to a certain extent understandable , even if we look past the racial theories , that mean so much in the national socialist world view ... We know , that tens of thousands of Jews condemn the Jewish business sharks , the Jewish pornography speculators and the Jewish terrorists . But still , it can not be denied , that the experiences which the Germans — as many other continental peoples — have had with regards to the Jews , form a certain basis for their persecution . One must give Germany , that they have a right to dispose of their Jews . " '' A front-page story in 1938 was an open letter to Mussolini criticizing the persecution of Jews , written by Kaj Munk , a prominent priest and playwright , who himself had though previously been sympathetic towards Mussolini and Hitler . In 1939 , the paper rebuked the Danish government for signing a German-Danish treaty of non-aggression
