The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-11-20

ally Worker, because things to use
Hckstein's apt words, "got too hot"
The proceedings became uncomfort-
ably shot" when Representative
Hamilton Fish, Jr., wealthy and aris-
etocratic Red-baiter to the workers
but a high class citizen and val
iuable member of our House" to Dick
stein, stood revealed as one Of the
leading co-workers Of the Nazis' AM
erican murder and terror brigade.
And "too hot" when Hathaway
showed how ridiculous and ignorant
Committeeman Focht was in accusing
him Of being an anarchist"
THE honorable Dickstein describes
i himself in the Congressional Di-
rectory as "a member Of the Grand
Street Boys Association, Associated
Travellers, and many Jewish welfare
and religious organizations, including
Paul Revere Lodge No. 929, F. & A.
T.; Mystric Shrine, Mecca Temple;
3. P. 0. Elks No. /, New York City"
Obviously noble" Dickstein is not in
terested in providing forum for the
official exposure of the terroristic
Nazi capitalistic propaganda and
espionage. But he was politically
cunning enough to see that many OF
the e0671 people he represents" in
Congress were sensing that Fascism is
interested primarily not in killing,
torturing, and beating I'D Jews but in
brutally crushing militant workers
organizations to supply the blood and
bone for the propping up Of a
collapsing capitalism.
And so an investigation" of Nazi
propaganda with Dickstein as the
peoples Notwithstanding to head
off the workers awakening and
something to throw as sop to those
who, despite recent German history,
persist in separating fascism from
anti-semitisn. Fine. A chase after
the already exposed Heinz Spank
noebel which would satisfy not only
the Jewish racialists but alsto the
bankers and industrialists dew and
Gentile), the employers of the Spank
noebel, the Filters and the Goerings,
NOW, Dickstein could and did sup
~ press the fact that the Daily
Worker was the agency which had
SO thoroughly uncovered the Nazi
brood in this country-until. for his
hearings, he had to have the Nazi
letter, first published in the Daily
which revealed the roots OF the MAJ
organization in America. SO, after
-
brought himself to the point where
he actually sent Hathaway an invita-
ton to appear. He got more than
he bargained for. He got the truth
and the whole trtith-something rare
indeed in the poisonous political all
Of Washington.
A goodly percentage of the cor
respondents, who don't know whether
Engels is an arithmetic formula OF
a town in Bohemia, were frankly
amazed when Hathaway developed
his testimony showing how the Nazi
propaganda germs we're struggled in
with the help of the egregious Fish
and "other people in high places.
Nor did the press miss the delight
full irony Of the loud, hysterical in
qlisitor Focllt, stupidity batting the
forceful but thoroughly composed
Communist witness Hathaway.
nESPTrE the antipathy Of the
" Washington press towards any
thing even remotely connected with
Communism, the drama attendant on
Hathaway's brilliant presentation was
too good to be passed up. AS usual,
the liberal press gave the most mis-
leading account.
The Washington Post, recently
bought by banker Eugene Meyer to
be an Intelligent" Republican organ,
repotred ecstaticly that Hathaway
spoke with well phrssed logic and
exactness. Hearst's Washington Her
aid even published picture of Hath
