but not until the Communists
revolution starts"
The organization is an integral
part of the Hitler movement in
Germany. Leaders are in frequent
communication with Berlin. Every
method of modern propaganda is
used to win converts to the cause.
Chief tenet of the German
American Bund is an intense
hatred of Jews and all things Jew
ish. Other anti-Semitic organiza.
tions are lining up with the Bund
in what leaders plan will be a
general Fascist merger.
Jews and Communists are al
most synonymous in the Bund
mind. The day of bloodshed will
come, leaders say, when Jewish
mongrel-C Communists attempt to
seize the Government just as they
did in Germany"
In one breath, they predict there
never will be another democratic
election in the United States; in
the next, they talk of uniting with
other "Aryan" groups in a political
party to uphold the Constitu-
ton"
The German-American Bund is
composed ostensibly only of Amer
lean citizens or prospective citi-
zens. But many members admit
privately they never intend to be-
come citizens and plan to return
to the glorious Third Reich" as
soon as the Vaterland is capable
of absorbing its surplus population
abroad.
The Amerikadeutscher Volks-
bund now has so odd orstgruppen,
or posts, scattered from coast to
coast. Each group has select or
ganization of "Ordnungs Dienst,"
commonly called o. DIS. The
avowed purpose of this uniformed
force is to police Bund gatherings,
but it is an exact replica of the
Hitler storm troops and is ready
at all times for any type of ter
roristic activity.

The Bund maintains at least Is

Kuhn took office after the 1896
convention of the organization,
held in Buffalo, N. Y. His first
term was for only one year. At
the 1887 convention, held secretly
(but ironically enough, over hide
pendence Day week-end), at the
Biltmore Hotel, New York city, the
Fuehrer's term was extended to
four years and Kuhn was re-
elected unanimously"
He had told intimates he would
not take the position unless he re-
ceived 80 per cent of the vote. But
there was no question of his re-
election. Whether they liked it or
not (and most of them did, mem
bers in local posts were steam
rollered for convention delegates

Trooper John Metcalfe voted for
Kuhn and was a guest at the con-
vention banquet.

wouldn't have it. He said that

Fosters Alliances

Kuhn's job is to enlist al Ger
man-AmericanS in the Bund.
During the past few years, Nazi
propaganda, organized by the
Bund, has engulfed many Ger
man-American affairs which for.
merly had no political significance.
German Day celebrations in most
parts of the country now are given
over completely to praise of Hitler.
SwastikaS. appear at concerts,
dances and literary meetings and
professional Bund speakers preach
the doctrines of national socialism.
The other main objective Of the
Bund is to form alliances with
other anti-communist and anti
Jewish organizations in America.

chemist in the famed I-G Farben

In his private office in the new
home of the Chicago bund - at

gave a lengthy explanation to Met
calfe of citizenship and the organ

He questioned him repeatedly
on whether he had any plans of
becoming an American citizen and
explained that if he did he could
be transferred to the other organ
ization but that the leaders pre-.
ferred that German citizens re-
tain their citizenship! He said
his organization was entirely dis

suspicious, sometimes naive. ex-
planned the alien organization was
somewhat stricter than the Amer
lean, that it was compulsory to
wear uniforms and to drill, and
that members always were subject
to orders Of Hitler and the Third
Reich.
Heberling introduced Metcalfe

smiling leader Of the uniformed
troops IN Chicago. Matthes &C.

Again and again at drill meet

are told they must be ready for

Many of the Fuehrers Of local
posts are former German army
officers. In the ranks are expert
machine-gunners, aviators and
riflmen, some of whom wear on
their shirts Iron Crosses awarded
for bravery in the World War.

changes were made because the
booted organization was open to
more criticism from peace-loving
Americans than the semimilitary
garb. Many of the troops, how
ever. have not discarded their
boots. The alien outfit apparently
is not worried about criticism and
retains the boots.
