WHAT GERMANS CAN DO.
This from otto II. Kahn, View York city is fun OF

Speaking as one born of German parents,
do hesitate my deep
viction that the greatest service which Of
German birth or antecedents can render to
the country Of their origin TO proclaim and
stand up for those great and fine ideals and
national qualities traditions which they in
herited from their ancestors and to set their
faces like flint aaginst the monstrous doctrines
and acts Of a rulership which robbed
them of the Germany which they loved and in
which they took Just pride, the Germany
which had the good will. respect and admira-
tion Of the entire world.
Fortunately such utterances this are becoming
common among our citizens Of birth. They

That time may return il those who understand both

\ second reason for suspectirs
that you would find YOURSELF in the

Gore. who is chairman of the

charge of the food control bill
because of lack of sympathy with
it. Chamberlain. the next rank

Gore of ohstructing admiufstra-
