and instructors in our schools and
colleges who consciouly and uncon-
sciously carry on anti-semitic pro-
paganda as well as defend Hitler
policies. l found these teachers in
almost every university and col
! lege in the land. Some are not
active Nazis but in a shrewd,
scholarly manner present pictures
of Nazi Germany which give the
/ impression that all's we'll in that
desolate land. For instance, Pro-
fessor Hartel, a German connected
with Storrs Agricultural College in
Storrs, Conn.,, not only carries on
active pro-Hitler propaganda at
the college but gladly accepts
speaking engagements throughout
New England in which he defends
Hitler's anti-Jewish policies. Karl
F. Geiser, professor of Political
Science in Oberlin College, is an
other one of those who sees in
Hitler an influence for the good.
/ mention these not to single
them out among the many but to
impress the reader with the ava
lanche of anti-semitism in our
highest institutions of learning.
Professors accept free passages
to Nazi Germany and no country
or shipping company in the world
gives out free passages without
expecting something in return. So
wonder what actuated the Ham
burg-American and North German
Lloyd lines to give first-class
passage to the wife of a C.C.N.Y
instructor, Mrs. C. Won Bradisch
who sailed on the SIS. New Yorl
on May Is, 1888, to be followed
on August 10, 1888, on the same
ship by her husband, listed as
Prof. J. Won Bradisch.
This wonderment is based on {

resident manager in Philadelphi;
of the North German Lloyd ant

= While referring to those prom
d inent educators who were give
J. free passages to Nazi Germany,
n is as good time as any to poi1
s. out that the Hamburg-America
s and North German Lloyd lines al
Is members of the Transatlantic Coz
l. ference with headquarters at
g Broadway, N. Y. City. This CO..
RS ference provides severe penalti,
Id for giving free passages by al
lie of its members. Six months as
to the neutrality-suspicious. and Mort
I'd German Lloyd lines were caugl
by Emil Lederer, sole arbiter
rs the conference, giving free pas
I'd ages to four people. The Germ:
ne shipping lines were fined son
of 100000 but the fine was kept sc
ri ret. The fact is that between ia
IS. uary 1, 1888, and May 9, 1913
D. these two Nazi shipping compani
r" gave over 300 free passages, son
w of them to Nazi propagandists.
ut If the shipping companies WI
t. are members of the Transatlant
as Conference or Mr.. Lederer who a
rk sesses the fines, will write me ca
ut Of The New Masses I shall
en- happy to present them with
ar complete list of all who were gi
us en- free passages, the names, t
or boats on which they sailed,
if class of passage, the date of sa
"a ing and at whose suggestion tn
IA were given free passage.

tic World. Kitchen was given a fir
he class passage May 8, 1888, on
