 The following representations on be- half of a German employment bureau s efficiency were made. under date of March "A, 1916, in a letter to the Ger man ambassador, von Bernstorff.
 Engineers and persons in the bet ter class of positions, and who had means of their own, were persuaded by the propaganda of the bureau to leave war material factories
 The report comments with uncon- cealed amusement upon the fact that munitions concerns innocently wrote the bureau for workmen (which. of course, were not furnished) and con- tinues in reviewing later conditions in the munitions industry
 The commercial employment bu- reaus of the country have no supply of unemployed technicians. X * Many disturbances and suspensions which war material factories have had to suffer and which it was not always possible to remove quickly. but which on the contrary, often lead to long strikes, may be attributed to the en- ereetic propaganda of the employment bureau"
 Non Igefs close connection with the enterprise is indicated by a number of items. For example, there is a nota- ton to the effect that H. Hanson had established a Liebah branch office in Detroit. an entry of S60 paid to a Dr. Max NiVen of Chicago in February 1916, for the labor fund" and an in- quiry addressed by a bureau official to von lSel, asking whether the Bosch Magneto tolNs manufactured fuses for shells, the bureau having evidently been applied to for workmen for the Bosch plant.

There are several references to money and messages for Sir Roger Easement, or, more briefly, R. C." and one record of a check for 5000 for Easement, evidently handled by De voy.
