NOOnClHueO from last week.
The trail of Hitler agents in
this country does not always lead
to direct anti-semitic activities.
Anti-semitism is only one phase of
German Fascism. It was essential
to Hitler as an exruse for the dis
Indignation of Germany's economic
life against which the people were
on the point of rebelling. Hence
Fascism, especially in a country
where there are millions of Jews,
carries within itself the germs of
anti-semitism
In the fight against the persecu-
tion of national and racial minori-
ties, of which anti-semitism is one
manifestation, it is important to
examine any possible Fascist or
ganization and determine, if posi-
bic, whether such organizations
could possibly be Nazi-inspired
And this leads us to the sow ma
tionally known Youth Movement
headed by Viola lima and the
much-publicized Youth Congress
held at New York University this
summer. An examination of the
activities of Miss lima, which at
tracted and still attract national
attention, reveals some very start
ling facts which Miss lima kept
secret.
The Youth Congress was held
this August. It was the first at
tempt cat national unity on the
part of American youth" The
press gave it a great deal of
space. There were a great many
feature stories about the young
and charming founder, Viola lima
of New York, Washington, London,
Geneva, Berlin and other points,
What the delegates, the newspap-
ers and her members did not know
is that Miss lima, born in Ger
many, is not even sure that she is
citizen, that the Youth Congress
was called after she had made g
trip to Germany where she saw
/ high Nazi officials and where she
got the money for her jaunt a.

| finishes this article, he will know
a little more about the activities
of the founder of this movement.
The conference Miss lima called
eventually broke up. Radical anC
liberal groups smelled Fascism
organized an opposition and tool
the Congress completely away
from Miss lima.
Miss lima today is moving il
the highest political circles of thu
, land-the same Miss lima who il
an address before a women's cluI
in Paris on her way from Berlin
stated: Hitler is bigger than an!
politician have ever known" ant

been broke. She never had muc
