Onion College students, despite op-
position from local organizations,
granted a hearing to the German
American bund leader, Fritz Kuhn
and then voted against the Nazi
theory of government which ne ex-
tolled. The vote was 294 to %.
Mr.. Kuhn addressed the Interna-

the college president, DR.. Dixon Ryan
Fox answered criticism with the state
ment it would give students first hand
information on both sides of important
questions" H.
The bund leader said its members
were not Nazis but are following the
national socialist philosophy because
that is the best"
During former session he was
asked If American students would be
permitted to speak on American
democracy in Germany.
"See me; I'll fix it," he said, then
added that, unless speech would
favor the Hitler government, it
naturally" would not be allowed, since
the world is rotting from misguided
1nternationalism
Mr.. Kuhn denied that in Nazi Ger
many the church is molested and
Jews mistreated.
"You must believe it because I
speak only the facts" he added.
Mr.. Kuhn was introduced by Prof
Frank j. Mannheim who said:
u, for one abhor and hate most of
the principles for which Kuhn is said
to stand And I would resent it If
any one were so foolish as to con-
slider my appearance here as an act
of appreciation or sympathy and I
would resent it if Union Colleges hos
pitality should be so construed"
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of New York
has been invited to speak next month
