NAZI WRITER ANNOUNCES
JESUS NEVER LIVED

BERLIN, Dec 22-Nazi believers in the
TeutOnic conception of worship have
started a fresh campaign against existing
religions.
THE Bible Unveiled" is the title of a
pamphlet, announced to be the first of a
series designated as ''The Aryan Defense"
In it, Hams Obermeister, the author,
rejects the Bible as the work of man; bad
ly done at that, and utterly Enthusiastically.
It's Jewish translators are branded as
rOgues and swindlers.
Jesus Christ, says Obermeister, never
existed, nor did the apostles Peter and
Paul
There is no original sin; man needs no
Redeemer. and there is no hell fire." the

Primitive Communist Colonies
Ia America
BY BRUCE N. TAYLOR

INTRODUCTION
The chief struggle Of mankind
is for food, clothing and shelter,
and It IL cut Of this struggle all
progress has come aud it has
been this struggle which has
shaped our lives.
At times the getting Of food,
clothing and shelter has been easy
and man gave little thought to
morrow or to his economic cOndi-
ton. It is of those that Jesus
was speaking when He said "Suf-
ficient unto the day is the evil
thereof At other times the strug-
gle for food, clothing and shelter
has become extremely difficult;
and it is then that men begin to
consider the causes: and it is out
of these hard conditions that rev.
olutions occur.
In primitive times man has
been close to the soil and the
struggle was with the landed ar
istocTacy for the use of these
lands and the dream of the com
mon people was for abohshing
the landlord and attaining own
ership Of the soil. Every man
shall stitch under his own fig
tree" was a slogan from Jesus
program. This slogan has been
sounded down the ages and has
been at the base of every strug-
gle for the land even up to the
present time. 1.-THE land foy the
users" was the PEASANTS slogan
in the Russian Revolution.
1t was this longing for land
which have given rise to the prim-
tive Communist colonies and
there are many attempts today to
find a way out by forming such
colonies with collective ownership
of land as the base.
In the earliest enterprises of
this sort people of q new religious
group banded togethe. and it wa;
the mortar which bound the group
together. Such groups are very
old. The Essences of Christ's time
were likely a colony of this sort.
Many of these colonies had novel
ideas of marriage which gives
rise to the free love arguments

COMMUNIST COLONIES
AFTER PANIC OF 1887
In America the time of the
greatest movements of this sort
were after the Panic ef 1887. Ths
Napoleanic Wars and the conse-
quently unsettled conditions in
Europe had produced a period Of
prosperity in America when the
industrial growth was rapid and
the farmers markets were very
good. The Democratic party was
the only one of consequence and
this party had become very con-
sentative. The rising struggles
In Europe, especially Germany,
France, and England, gave birth
to several such sects who came
TO the United States and proeur-
ed lands in the "West" of that
period: Indiana, Ohio and western
Pennsylvania and New York. AM
elica then welcomed those with
advanced ideas IN politics and Ed
ucation which today would be, de-
ported as undesirable citizens.
So because OF the abundance Of
cheap land in the endless West,
and the welcome extended to pol
itical refugees, America became
the testing pot for many Comun-
list colonies each of which will be
t1eated in a separate article, and
the background influences of these
communities, upon the cultural,
intellectual and political progress
