MONEY ON ANTI-SEMITISM

Rep. Jacob Thorkelson, of Mon
tana, anti-Semitic congressman
defeated for denomination, la S t
week consumed twelve of the A
pages of the appendix in the Con-
gressional Record with his typical
anti-Jewish diatribes. If he con-
tinues his present output, his
words in the appendix should
reach an a1l-time record of $780,
900, at cost to taxpayers of ST.
600 for printing alone. Today's
output cast $3.50.
Rep. Adolph ]. SABBATH (Dem.,
ILL., chairman of the House Rules
Committee, said that he would in
the future block, at every oppor-
tunity, attempts by Rep. Jacob
Thorkelson (Rep., Montana) to
fill the Congressional Record with
pro-Nazi literature. His statement
came after an exchange in which
SABBATH halted Thorkelson for a
time, but when SABBATH was forced
to leave the floor because of duties
with his important committee,
Thorkelson rose three more times
to fill the Record with Goebbels-
type literature without opposition.

Col. Knox warned in the sum-
mary, issued as the last Install
ment of the series, that if the fifth
column peril is not removed the
military problem may be inca
pable of solution. He said that
among the m a n detectives of
fifth column agitation and propa-
| ganda were the following:
Ito create confusion of
thought, suspicion and dissensions
to weaken popular morale.
2-To incite jealousy and an
tagonism between different classes
of society as well as racial and re-
ligious groups.
$40 retard any effective prep
aration for defense.
ITO secure the cooperation and
possible treason of key men in
official positions through subtle
persuasion, secret pressure and
eventual bribing.
The Secretary stressed the dis
astrous effects of these fifth col
urnn tactics on France and other
countries which the Germans
picked as their victims.
fortunately, there is an effec-
tive primary means of defense
against the underhand activities of
fifth column agents." he said. ut
lies in tearing down the veil of
secrecy and subterfuge under
which they operate. A second
airy means of defense lies in the
timely discernment of fifth col
umn methods, with prompt count
er action wherever possible. :.
We should be ready to back this
program with all the energy and
resources at our command"
In the fourth of the series of
articles, Col. Donovan and Now
rer said it was conceivable that
the United States possessed the
finest Nazi-schooled fifth column
in the world and which, in the
event of war with Germany, would
be this country's undoing.
The writer's urged action against
German-language publications and
legislation permitting cancellation
of naturalization obtained under
false pretenses. If the Nazi con-
spiracy is unearthed in time, it
will prove relatively harmless,
