FASCIST UNION
IS aim OF NAZ|
PARTY IN U. S.
We Need a Hitler
Says Bund Leader
By WILLIAM MUELLER

BY WILLIAM MUELLER
The Observation-Disclosures
Volksbund, U. S. voice of
nazi-ism, is seeking to con-
solidate all fascist elements
in America, with their vari-
colored shirts, into one
great movement which the
Hitler-inspired Bund will
lead.
Investigators who joined the
Bund marched with Italian
black shirts and Ukranian
brown shirts. Leaders revealed
plans to enlist the support Of
other fascist-inclined groups.
LEADER SOUGHT
At the same time Newton Jen-
kins, perenially hopeful political
candidate Of Chicago, is attempt
ing to unite nationalist" groups
in q third party and the Bund
is looking for a leader of it's third
party movement.
Jenkins has addressed many
Bund meetings and is referred to
in Nazi circles as q great Amer
lean" and Der Fuehrer der brit
ten Pareti' Qeader of the third
party.
America needs men and
women like Hitler to stir her
from her lethargy," says an ar
ticle in a paper called "Ameri-
can Nationalism" published by
jenkins.
1.-THE American German Bund
Is a fine, patriotic American or
ganization," another article says.
It adds that Fritz Kuhn, ma
tional leader of the Bund, lis a
real American"
Jenkins was a speaker at the
1897 national convention of the
Bund in New York over the July
4th weekend.
"You are doing the right
thing at the right time" he de-
clared. "I am thoroughly familiar
with your high ideals. We must
win the hearts of all American
Germans in order to develop a
great free nation"
From the speaker stand, set
like a pulpit high above a plat
form facing the broad expanse
of drill field at Camp Siegfried,
near Yapbank, L. l., Jenkins looked
down on rows of American Nazi
storm troops and black-shirted
Italian-American fascists.
II am not Of German blood
and don't speak German, but I
believe your organization is
working for a better America
and I am for you," the Chicago
lawyer politician declared.
There are such things in the
United States as the c. I. o.
which are working against true
Americans. We should all work
together to stamp out these
evils"

RETAIN CANAL

ROSE WA R N S
Veteran Director Hits
Company Offer to
Buy Power

Imperial Valley has Great
ed for itself a tremendous
asset in the power possibili-
ties on the All American
canal and it should conserve
this asset for its people. said Mark
Rose, director of the Imperial r.
rigation District at mass meet
ing in Holtville Monday night, call
ed to discuss the power issue and
the power bond election June Is.
This asset was created, declared
Rose, at the same time that the
people of the district assumed OBJ
legations for the control of drought.
flood. sand and salt. In discussing
the Nevada California Electric cor
poration's offer to purchase power
developed by the district Rose said.
I'VE are not going to allow them
to take our power and sell it back
to us at an enormous profit, citing
the example in Yuma where power
is purchased for a fraction of a
cent and sold back at the rate of
Gil cents.
Rose emphasized the fact that
while the power company is ad-
vertising that under its offer the
people will not have to pay on
bonds, they will pay, and pay
plenty, under a contract with the
company, the government contract
offering the Imperial Valley far
better deal.
M. j. Dowd, superintendent,
pointed out that the district not
only has the legal right to enter
the power business but that it is
in the power business in Brawley
and is operating it efficiently and
successfully.
No one, he declared, can deter
mine the limit of the power de-
velopment from the canal and if the
Nevadt,- California corporation is
making only small profit as they
claim. why, he asked, are they so
reluctant to sell.
II the power CoInpdIly CoheidC
is accepted, Dowd warned his lis
teners, there lis no way of guar
anteeing us anything but they can
bind us on the contract.
Dowd referred to the company's
rate reductions as shotgun cuts"
and pointed out the difference be-
tween the three-year contract ne
cessary to obtain a rebate in dis
tricts outside of Brawley and the
one-year term contracts in Braw-
ley where the company has to meet
District competition.
The audience was composed large
ly of farmers from the Holtville
district and the general sentiment
was in favor of the District pro-
gram.

"The grand jury feels that local
political strife has been responsible
for great deal of the trouble
confronting the city government Of
