"a few weeks ago the newspapers.
Including the Government controlled
Lokaidn ,ei9er and the popular Zcituno
an Mino9. launched systematic cam
IAiGn of vituperation against the
money grabbing Yankees The cam
paign was apparently chokcd by the
Government, for the newspaper attacks
ceased as suddenly ~ they began, but
the abuse in private increased CORE
: spondngly. Americans nowadays can
hardly meet German friends without
being targets for the most violent

THE Germans are convinced that the
Allies ar. holding out because America

Continuing the banker said:
J, To the casual observer there is n,
