Motive Undetermined.

president of the Authorization

its origin is fixed, and an investi-

end. There seems little doubt.
however, that most OF the propa-
ganda has a common source. A
series Of attacks now being pub
lished in a middle western weekly,
owned by q rich manufacturer with
political aspirations, have the same
general background as the propa-
ganda sent out from abroad, and if
there is no connection between the
manufacturers advisers and the
agency which is deluging the
American Legion with its litera-

working in an astonishingly SIM

: foreign conspiracy to inject
racial and religious issues Into the
impending presidential campaign

Two religious sscts. Catholics
and Jews, are the principal objects
Of attack, being jointly accused Of

social order and seize control Of
the world.
Russell g. Crevfston, director OF
organization Of the American Lee
gion. has ordered all the documents
transmitted for investigation to the
Anti-D Defamation league, q national
organization for combating racial
and religious prejudices. which
maintStns headquarters here.
Publish Inquiry Findings.
For several weeks an inquiry has
been in progress, and Adolf Kraus,
president OF the Authorization
league, announced today the
leagues decision to give the mat
ter publicity.
Despite the fantastic nature and
manifest absurdity Of the charges,
he said, "the propagandists have
succeeded in gaining . rather wide
hearing among the uneducated
classes Of England and other Eu-
ropean countries.
This propaganda comes anony-
mously from abroad In Europe's
present disturbed condition. it ap-
pears especially desirable that the
American public have the fullest
possible information concerning
It,"
| Chiefly the evidence in posses,

and circulars originally written in
Russian and translated and print

to advices received in New York

One of the pamphlets recently
