The newspaper points out that
the Nazi writer blandly overlooks

EDITORS NOTE: The Hun
garian anti-Nazi newspaper
Az Ember, published in New
York, recently printed a Sc
ries of articles containing
sensational allegations with
regard to development of
fifth column in the United
States. The following arti-
Gle presents summary of
the Az Ember series.
A vast Nazi fifth column,
grouping hundreds of thousands
of men trained in all phases of
modern military attack, has been
organized in the United States
and is geared for immediate ac-
ton if and when enemy forces
strike at this country from with
out. This is the assertion of an
anti NaZi Hungarian newspaper,
Az Ember, in series of articles
entitled "Hitler's Ready Made
Army in America"
The newspaper, published in
New York, claims that units" of
this force, whose intensive mill
tary preparations are screened by
seemingly peaceful pursuits, will
smash at vital points behind the
lines as soon as the attack order
is issued under a Grand Nazi
Strategy plan for America. This
plan allegedly provides that the
Nazi fifth column" cooperate

Churchill said.
If the air war goes on at the

down and ruin" a vital part of the
German air force.
1t would be very hazardous" for
the Germans TO attempt to invade
Britain without first knocking out
the British air force, he said
He added that German prepara-
tons for an invasion were going on
ION very great scale.
German barges are moving along
the coasts of the Low Countries and
France, he said. Some of these, he
said, moved under the protection
of German batteries on the French
shore
There now is considerable num-

Norway.

But he warned that sit (the inva-
sion) may be launched at any time
on England, Scotland or Ireland
or on all three"
The weather may break at any
time, he said, and thus it must be
expected that some blow may be
made soon.
Churchill recalled the destruc-
ton of the Spanish Armada and
other great battles of the past and
said that the operations today were
on a much greater scale.
He said there were 100000 in
the home guard prepared to fight
for every inch of ground, in every
village and in every street"
Churchill charged that Adolf Hit
Ter, by killing" thousands of wom-
en- and children, is trying to ter

prepare for the invasion.
