ganda over here sis all directed to-

consciousness of the German
race and a feeling OF allegiance
toward the German Reich
In a preface signed by the spon-
sors. it is stated that Herr Hitler
himself has repeatedly proclaimed
that national socialism is not an
article for export. Within the past
three years it has become increas-
ingly evident that, under the I'M
petus of its racial theory, national
socialism is now attempting to unity
all persons of German birth or an
cestry, regardless of their present
citizenship. This applies to the
Sudeten Germans of Czecho-Slo-
vakia as we'll as to several million
Germans who are citizens OF the
United States"
Nazi groups outside Germany are
now consolidated under the foreign
division Of the National Socialist
party. Ernest Wilhelm Bohle,
Gauleiter of eau Ausland Gas the
foreign division is called, has been
given a high post in the German
foreign office and jurisdiction over
all members of the German foreign
service. who must be members OF
his division. Officially, the Bohle
organizations purpose is to bring
all those Of German citizenship hv-
ing outside Germany into the ranks
of the National Socialist party.

This authentic expose of the Off
cial supervision of Nazi intrigue IN
the United States winds up with
citations from the annual publica-
ton of the German-American
Bund, whose activities have just
been searchlighted by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. In the
1887 yearbook, bund members are
described as "heralds of the Third
Reich, as preachers of the German
world viewpoint of national social
ism which has displayed before the
eyes of the world the Incompatible
German miracle, the miracle OF
national socialism"

and fate of all Germans. To
this end the spiritual regenera-
ton of the Germans after the
model of the homeland Is neces-
sary. When we will have at
tanned this goal we will organize
the Germans in order to give
them, after the completion Of
their spiritual regeneration, eco
nomic reinforcement and politi-
cal schooling. German-Ameri-
cans, thus prepared, economi-
cally rejuvenated and politi-
cally active, shall then be used

Referring to Achievements of the
German-American Volksbund," the
1888 yearbook says:
What does the historic act Of
the unif1cation of all Germans
by Adolf Hitler, as carried out
in the old fatherland In such an
unprecedented manner, teach us?
1t struck a most receptive chord
among those of German descent
living abroad Many of these
racial comrades felt q strong
yearning to follow this magnifl-
cent example In order to bring
about the unif1cation in the new
homeland also of all men Of
German descent, regardless Of
their citizenship.
I'm the past year more and
more of those uprooted Germans
have expressed the desire to see
their fatherland again after an
absence Of decades. They came
back, as was to be expected, as
racial comrades who joyously af-
flrmed their German origin.
Returning to their new home-
land with this spirit, they finally
became members or at least val
liable disciples of the movement
which strove for its highest and
most distinguished goal: Uni
f1cation."
Foggy uncertainty surrounds the
fate of attempts to tamper with the
neutrality law. Many Of Senator Pitt
mans Foreign Relations Committee
colleagues admit they have not yet
made up their minds either about
the chairman's cash-and-carry plan
or other amendments sponsored by
Thomas Of Utah, Lewis of Illinois,
King of Utah, ct al. There is a
consensus that outright repeal Of
the law is excluded Opinion is so
widely divided on amendatory pro-
posals and the whole subject is so
stepped in technicalities. that no
one will risk a guess as to the out
come.
