 Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 I recently sent to your corres- pondence columns some facts re- garding the efforts being made by the Nad government of Germany to control the thought and life of, Ger an-speaking people throughout the globe. But that was only part ol the story. There Is more. v
 At the exhibition held in con" nection with the Conference ot Ger mans Abroad in Stuttgart, 1t was stated that frarkneSs that the Foreign Organization publishes 5! daily, and weekly newspapers aproad and controls c news service whicn works in close collaboration with the Ministry of Propaganda.
 These figures, however, only rep. resent q fraction of the work of propaganda caryied on by tne Qoen- bels' Ministry In an democratic countries, The system employed was revealed iii the Petit Pa risien" as far back as November, i93S. which published the "secret Irstructions of the Ministry or Propaganda", subsequently, issued as a pamphlet Ges Instructions secretcs de la Propaganda Ale" imande, Paris, ieSN. According to thnsc instri,etions. hundreds Of nnil- lions of marks were used in order to bring the press. news aSencies' film, Industries and radio under ger ger mai, influence. Hundreds of foreign newspapers are subsidized. journal- ists and writers corrupted, and nu. merous other personages brought within the network of German prop, aganda. Sports contests, travel bureaus and trading agencles aFs also used for this purpose. .
 According to the 1884 report of the Association for Qermanisni Abroad, this Association has over 24,O00 affiliated organizations and local groups. It has an enormous aG- m.ristrattve machine and controls and supports in foreign countries tens of thousands of clubs, schools libraries, etc. It's leader, pr. Stein- acher, at meeting of the Association In Trier on May 18th, 1884, after outlining the way in which m more than sixteen states acrosss the sea Germans have sought new means of existence, owing to the lack oi space in their own country went on to say: "The historical hour nas come for all these to be united III the experience of our common na- tionality .. -. We must always remain conscious that Germany 's more than the state of the German Reich and the German people more than the inhabitants Of the German Reich" ,' s.s- ',s''. '',
 The German Labor Front, com- pulsory organization of German elIi- ployes, maintains Its own Foreign Bureau for German Occupational Groups" which functions as the Propaganda and Agents Headquar- ters for Labor Abroad. German employees of German firms abroad are compelled to belong to one of the occupational groups of German employees if they wish to keep their jobs. The Occupational Groups have more than 8 thousand censers abroad, which are adapted for prop aganda work. :.
 The stricter organization of Ger mans abroad, so far as possible and 1t must never be forgotten taht thousands of Germans all over the world resent this sort of thing--was made clear Q few months ago when the "Berner Bund'', the organ of the Swiss government, announced that Ernst Bohle, chief of the Nazi Foreign organization, had started a card index system whereby the re- liability of every German abroad, from the Nazi standpoint, Is to be recorded.
 Particulars regarding the position of all Germans living abroad are collected on identity cards, drpli- cates of which are to be sent to headquarters in Berlin. Anyone. who does not apply for a card with in certain period will lose his right to passport, and finally. his ra-, tionaiity. The same applies to any, one refusing to answer the ques- tions: "Why have you not yet joined an agsociationq Why have you not jk;ned the National Socialist Rarty2
