Senate Inquiry
Spreads to Foe
Propaganda
Continued from page I

q long time. l also have received no
manuscripts from papa. still have
two or three of his articles to print
am using them rather sparngly so
as to have something at least on hand
The circulation OF my paper which
is now called 'Viereck's American
Weekly analogous to Golfers, The
National Weekly has not suffered in
circulation because of the crisis. l
even believe that it will aid our paper
so far as circulation is concerned,
though it will impair our advertising.
| hope that no attempt will be made
press, and especially with freedom of
| speech. My telephone is being tapped,
presumably by British agents.
Hearst Doesn't Want War
"The American people do not want
war. Bryan. Hearst, we, the twelve
Senators and the thirteen Congress-
majority of the American people. even
if they seem to represent a much min
ority in the press and in Congress-.
81 have made charges against Mr..
Gerard, the returning Ambassador. |
have embodied Colonel Emerson's
charges and the charges of Count
Reventlow in one of my editorials. I
shall also attack Ackermap for his
treacherous article against Germany
letter to the Secretary of State against
Gerard. I have not taken up the
charges against Gerard before this be-
cause l did not want to hurt Bernstoff.
| have submitted the charges to num-
ber of Senators and lave heard from
them. 1t is possible they may be taken
up. On the other hand, in case of war,
the war fever will be so high that it
will be impossible to obtain an i'm
partial hearing.
Untermyer for Attorney
II do not know whether we shall
go to the country this year, and if so,
where. Everything depends on the in
ternational situation. l expect Mr..
legal advisor in case | or my publlca-
tion should get into difficulties.
"'The International is increasing
rapidly in circulation. although it is
not making money. | had hoped to
print The Fatherland as The New
World but unfortunately another paper
by that name exists in Chicago. Con-
sequently | preferred to call it by my
name, because my name is known to
all our readers. | may change it again
some day, but not for the present.
81 have not heard from Uncle
Edward He never acknowledged the
receipt of the money I sent him. He
, never, acknowledged, either, the letters
to you which l addressed to him. Re
Gently I sent you wireless message.
! Please do not omit to use the wireless
occasionally if you can. In my mes
sage to you | was compelled to use
j the signature of the Fatherland Cor
poration, because wireless messages
are not accepted at present from this
country for abroad. I am sure DR..
Feuhr can get a message through to
me. He will also point out ways to
yov in which you can send q message
to me. War will come soon. In that
case | presume all communication will
be broken off, unless you could choose
to live in neutral country, or come
back here.
"Give my kndest regards to all my
friends and tell them that l am con-
tinuing my battle for fair play. | shall
continue this battle even in case of
war In that case it will be my duty
to fight for an early peace, to prevent
the Entente and to counteract the lies
that surely will be sent over from
London daily by cable.
Calls Zimmerman Note Fake
The Zimmerman letter has made it
L
say in one of my editorials, the pro-
Germans lie in no beo of roses, and not
all the thorns are planted there by
the Allies. | think the Zimmerman
letter is a fake. still believe that the
document, al least In part, is spurious
ut Will please you to hear that we
have almost 1000 for the Muenster-
sum was contributed by the Reisinger
and Busch families. Curt and | are
trustees of this fund. With it we will
purchase Professor Muensterberg's
library and in accordance with his
wishes present the library to Harvard
University.
The other letter, dated May 2. 1917,
was sent through Charles Fell, of
Stockholm, Sweden. 1t read:
Dear Papa and Mammal:
"In few days the Austrian staff
will leave for their home. l gave DR..
Won Nuber, the Austrian Consul Gen
eral in New York, a number of oral
messages for you. He is a dear friend
of ours, and | hope that he will not
forget to deliver the messages. | have
also spoken to one or two other mem
bers of the Austrian party, and l hope
that you will hear from them.
81 have had no news from you since
the war began. The only message l
have received was papa's wireless, in
which he asked me what he should do
in case of war.
81 have established Bureau of
Legal Information for Americans of
German descent and for Germans who
are uncertain as to their legal status
and wish to know their duties and their
rights. A number OF eminent lawyers
are acting as my advisory board.
Got Jobs for Germans
81 have also organized an Agri-
cultural Employment Bureau. This
bureau aims to divert the energy of
Germans and Austrians who are out of
work into agricultural channels. In
this way they are of the greatest aid
to the United States without under
taking any work which from the point
of view of their Fatherand can be
construed as lending aid to the enemy
The Central Powers, if | am not mis-
taken, are even employing prisoners of
war for agricultural work This bureau
has the full Endorsement of those in
charge of the Department of Agricult-
ure.
"Do not fail to call upon Dr. Albert
