g. ANTI-SEMITIC DUET:
EASLEY AND VIERECK


The long arm of Nazi anti-Sem-
itic propaganda in this country
works cunningly through hidden
hands. I have already uncovered
some of these mysterious sources
for nurturing hatred of the Jew. |
Now ! shall present evidence that
the prominent one hundred and
twenty percent patriot" Ralph M. |
Easley, chairman of the Executive
Council of the National Civic Fed
GRAFTON, $40 Lexington Avenue,
New York City, has secretly dis
tri5uted anti-Semitic propaganda
as well as reported confidentiallv
to George Sylvester Viereck, paid
Nazi agent, on the efforts of the
patriot" to stop the Jewish boy
colt of German goods-an act
which, if successful, would be of
incalculable service to Nazi Ger
many.
The National Civic Federation
is the largest and most influent-
ial Of the patriotic" organiza-
tons, so many of which are
flooding the country with the
"hate the Jew" creed. The Fed
Grafton is close to the federal gov
eminent. Mr.. Easley himself
makes frequent and mysterious
trips to Washington to corfer
with Labor and State Department
officials, either bringing them
information" or "patriotically"
trying to peddle forged docu-
ments for a price-as he tried to
peddle the now notorious Whalen
forgeries four years ago. When
he could not sell them to Robert
Kelley, chief of the Far Eastern
Division of the State Department,
he tried to peddle them to
Hearst newspaper correspondent.
And failing in that, Easley finally
stuck former Police Commissioner
Grover Whalen with them so that
the, latter rushed into print only
to have the documents little lat
er proven as forgeries. I mention
this so that the reader will under
stand how the patriot" Ralph M.
Easley works.
On the National Civic Fedora
ton executive council we find very
influential men. It's ramifications
and influence are wide. There is,
for instance, the acting president
of this organization: Matthew
Woll. Woll is vice-president of
the American Federation of La
Dor which went on record as fav-
oring the boycott of German
goods. Then there is Archibald
Stevenson, chairman of the De-
partment of Subversive Move
ments. Mr.. Stevenson achieved a
lot of prominence years ago by
his activities in whipping up a
"Red" hysteria for the notorious
Lusk Committee. He succeeded
in developing "Red" scare which
resulted in Socialist Assemblymen
being kicked out of the Legisla-
ture just because they were Soc
ialists. Then there is Jas. w. Ger
ard, former Ambassador to Ger
many, who is in chagre of the
Commission on Industrial Inquiry.
It is former Ambassador Gerard
who. after this series of articles
began, Historically warned the
Jews that if they did not abhor
Communism they would have IN
the United States pogroms, "the
like of which the world haF never
SEEN"
Jews and Gentiles, scared by
the Communist bugaboo raised by
these men, contribute heavily to the
National Civic Federation's well
filled Golfers. So far as the
world at large knows, Easley's
life has been devoted to fighting
Communism or any other form Of
radicalism which appeared in this
country. When the Communists
were not around, he grew apop-
lectic about the I.W.W.'s. When
that scare passed and the country
somehow still survived. he got
choleric over the Socialists-whom
he now views with a mild toler-
ance. Easley always manages to
get a cause to scare the proper
tied class. There is great deal
that could say of this profess
ional patriots" past, but space
forbids all but the mention that
he was closely connected with Bor-
is Brasol who was largely respon-
sible for the widespread dissemir-
alton of the notorious Protocols
of Zion" This fact of his past IS
little known-especially to the
wealthy Jews who give money to
his organization. This, though,
was in his past. Let me now tell
of his present activities, when
while offering to help and work
