FOREIGNERS HERE HOARD
FUNDS FOR EUROPEANS
Immigrants Withdrew Money From
Bnnks When War Started
TO Send Overseas.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2-Morc than
1880, 100000 earned in the United
States by immigrants has been secret
~ boarded since America entered the
war. according to evidence given 10
the Overnan subcommittee on German
propaganda to-day.
The purpose of keeping this money
out of American banks and placing
IL in secret hiding places. the same
evidence shows. was that ii might be
sent back TO the European countries
from which the immigrants came as
soon as peace is restored.
The evidence was laid before the
committee by Laiof Steiner. a native of
Hungary. now a resident of Chicago.
He conducted an investigation for the
War Trade Board Intelligence division
among the foreign-born population in
this country. He found. he said. that
particularly among the immigrants
who had settled on farms in the Middle
West the home ties are SO strong that
when America entered the war the
savings and earnings of these persons
were withdrawn from banks and Sc
creted in tin cans. bottles. stockings
and other hiding places. At the same
time. he added, agents OF the foreign
countries went among these persons
telling them that after the war Europe
would be the land OF opportunity, ana
that whatever they had should he
boarded in order that it might be sent
abroad.
