obtained his naturalization papers. it

Report by Won Mach
IN his report on the work of organ
izing the new party, Won Mach stated
in a"Viereck's Magazine" that local
branches were to be installed in all
states, His report specifically dis
avowed any intention on the part of
the founders to stir up trouble between
the United States and Great Britain,
and declared that the principal object
was to "restore America, as the fathers
founded it, as Lincoln preserved it and
rs they (the German immigrants) i'm
agined it. when, forsaking their own
lands, they swore their allegiance
to it,
"To- day" the report said at another
point, "it is vain to deny the existence
OF strong element in America con-
scious of it's German blood and deter
mined to proclaim it's pride, at what
ever cost. Numerically, citizens of the
first generation may be the stronger
AS regards purpose, we'll defined and
grim, 1T is my impression that the men
OF the second and earlier generations
deserve the prize"
Complains Of SANDER

should really be so stupid as to fall
once again into such a trap, and in
stead of forcing recognition by con-
certed political action be willing to let
the case go by default and barter in
dlwdual recognition of our worth for
our support of either of the dominant
parties, so long as they are controlled
Ey the criminals in power to- day-for

Seeks Desirable Candidates
While the report states that MANY
German voters will cast their ballots
for the Socialist ticket next Novcin Der,
the report urges that the new organiza-
tion hold itself footloose "to throw
the full weight aid its united vote to
those candidates who, as the campaign
progresses, reveal themselves as de-
sira Bile in the interest of the country"
Referring again to the Germans
whom he had interviewed on the sub
ject, Won Mach states:
"Without one single exception the
men interviewed demand revision Of
the dishonorable Versailles treaty.
They believe, however, that this will
follow as the natural consequence of q
