His second article will be re-
viewed next week.
Within the last two years a
web of anti-Jewish hatred has
been woven around the country.
Today anti-Semitism is open
and growing rapidly as the fas-
cist forces become more bold.
Only since Hitler came into
power has anti-Semitism openly
developed here, but the vast ma
jority of those spreading the
hate the jew" creed have no
exact idea of where it is coming
from. Normally sensible Amer
leans, completely bewildered by
the increasing economic crisis,
dazed by events they cannot I'M
derstand, have lent their ear to
the cry that the Jew is respon-
sible for the worlds ills.
How was the propaganda sys-
TEN started? How was it devel-
oped? Who leads and directs it?
Nazi Agent Emerson
Col. Edward Emerson, self
styled parrot, soldier of fortune
and war correspondent, until re-
Gently had an office at the New
York address of the German
Consulate General. From this
room for which the German Con-
sui General paid, Emerson
launched the Friends of Ger
many" which is now the Friends
of New Germany" This organiza-
ton is among the chief distrib-
utors of anti-Semitic propaganda
in America
At first Col. Emerson carried
on his propaganda quite stupid
ly. Meetings were held with
storm troops" in full uniform
and bitter attacks were made
against the Jews at large mass
meetings. Both Jewish and non
Jewish press protested strongly,
and Propaganda Minister GOeb-
bells in Berlin called Emerson to
Germany to give him more ex-
plicit instructions.
Order of '76 Founded
In October, 1888, Royal Scott
Gulden, of the mustard king
family, who had been in touch
with Emerson, tried to organize
an espionage system to watch
Communists. Emerso had
taught him that all Jews were
Communists and all Communists
Jews. Gulden made contacts with |
other patriots" among whom
were William Dudley Pelley,
head of the Silver Shirts, and a
plan was laid out to attack street |
meetings in New York City and |
to spread anti-Semitic propo-
ganda among the military, naval
and police forces. Among this
propaganda which was distrib-
uted were the VIGOROUSLY fraud
ulent Protocols of Zion" Sew
eral riots which occurred at
street meetings have been traced I
to Gulden's prOvOcateurs.
Gulden's work spread, and
from this group the Order of
'76" was formed with Gulden sec
rotary. U. S. naval and military
intelligence officers, members of
Union League Club, New York
City detectives, bankers and
business men joined. Col. Fritz
Duquesne, a war time German
spy, was hired to direct the Or
ganization's spy system. Sup
posedly secret meetings were
held in which insane attacks
were made against Jews. Mater
ial was. sent to Congressman Nc
Fadden to be used with men in
Washington.
A member of this organization
is Sidney Brooks who is employ
ed by a bureau of Republican
Senators and Congressman in
Washington, ID. c., and close to
high officials in the U. S. govern
ment. Brooks met with Policy,
Gulden and others secretly in
New York, and called frequently
at the German Consuls office.
At one of these meetings it was
decided to merge the Order of
'76' and the Silver Shirts, and the
merger was carried out. And as
shown by Brooks application to
the order of '76" Reproduced in
the New Masses) Sidney Brooks
is the son of Col. Emerson, Nazi
agent.
Distribute Nazi Propaganda
The German government is
mailing propaganda material to
the Congress of the U. s. Propa-
ganda is Struggled in off German
ships and distributed by the Or
der of rs besides additional anti
Semitic propaganda issued BIZ
the Silver Shirts. This smuggling
is still going on and is largely re-
sponsible for the startling
growth of anti-Semitism here.

Spivak's exciting interview with
Gulden and more information
