 One interesting phase of the Einheitsfront Is the vigorous CO., operation 1t gives the America First Committee. One of its pamphlets urged that contribu- tions from $l upward be sent to the America First Committee, Board of Trade Building, Chi- cago, as @ part of the effort to defeat the Lease-Lend Bill.
 Another of these pamphlets, carrying the same appeal for the America First Committee, pulp lished an appeal against aid to Britain, written in the same brand of lavish language which usually emanates from Berlin.
 "Those who shout loudest for war;" it said, e.. are usually old men sterile biologically, and even sterile of all dreams and memories of life. Their senile bodies, their cold, calculating brains, frequently find compen- sati0n for their lost youth In hatred and false ambitions for glory or gold; and their c0n- science is hardened like their arteries and their hearts"
 The Einheitsfront also has been active in drumming up audiences for America First speakers, such as Colonel Lindbergh. When Lindbergh was scheduled to speak in Chicago last August, Henry Jonhk, financial secretary of the Einheitsfront read over the air Q pressing summons to all mem- bers and listeners to the United Front radio hour to do their duty by attending the great mass meeting at Soldiers Field. None dare or should faill" he added ominously.
 One interesting idea hinted at by the Einheitsfront is that used In the Sudetenland to disinember Czechos.ovakia-the right of Ger man minorities to establish their own government. For instance, one issue of the Sonntagpost of Chicago, afiiliated with the or- organization, contained this thought:
 "If our racial brothers In the Balkans were In a position, in spite of need and attempted 0p-
 precision and chicane, to assure
 their position, why should we not be able to do It if only the will is there?" E FEEDING FRANCE
 Behind the two shiploads of wheat for France = which have now backtlred Fl iS the story of some vigorous wrangling inside the State Department. also inside the Administration over the gen. cray policy of feeding occupied countries. r
 Inside the State Department still survives an appeasement clique. Feebler than during the
 Ciiveden days, It Ctill veers toward the teachings of ex- Un-
 dersecretary William K. Castle and ex-AmbasEador to Germany Hugh R. Wilson.
 It was this group which urged Secretary Hull to OK the pro- posed $l00,000, 900 wheat loan to Spain last December. And 1t has been this group which favored feeding France.
 Chief opponent Of this group inside the State Department has been Undersecretary Sumn CT Welles, close friend of the Presi- dent, Q gentleman of firm con- victions.
 Outside tho State Depart ment, an equally close friend of
 Ro0scevelt's, William Christian Bullitt, ex-Ambassado to Paris, also favored food for his old friends in France. By no means
 an appeaser. Blllitt's position was swayed partly by sentiment, partly by the belief that . few shiploads of food could save the
 French people from hating Britain.
 Faced with divergent views, Roosevelt turned to Admiral Will liam Leahy, now Ambassador to Vichy. And ex-sea dog Leahy, intimate friend of French sea-dog Darlan, real power behind Mar shal Petain, finally recommended food for Vichy. In fact Admiral Leahy had ordered shipment of food to take with him, and al- though 1t got left behind on the dock, subsequent shipments of about 800 tons of canned goods
