It goes without saying, that there
were such traitors in every branch
Of the Austrian administration, in
Guiding the Ministerial Council
Some ministers Immediately went
over to the Nazis exactly as the po-
lice had. Many army officers and
civil servants had carried both
Schuschnigg buttons and Nazi but
tons.
In America, the number of Nazi
traitors is small, but the ones who
do exist are just as fanatical and
aggressively treacherous as those In
Austria were. They have studied in
the same school,
Bound to Germany
The motto of the New York Nazi
Bund, as expressed more than once,
in large letters on huge banners,
is: America Observation-Disclosures
land verbunden. That means: under
obligation to America-bound to
German. American Bundists thun-
der that from the housetops. What
they say is: though we are obligated
to render certain allegiance to the
United States, our hearts are in
Germany.
The leader, whom such Nazis in
America praise and to whom they
pledge unreserved devotion, is Herr
Hitler. The hymns in which they
pour out their emotions are Nazl
hymns, such as are sung by march
ing Nazi troopers in Germany.
One such song, used by Naz
youth in America, says: The flag !:
our faith in God, in our Nation ane
country. Better take our lives ane
hands than it?n The flag referred
to is the swastika. Young people il
America, who call themselvel
"Amerikaner," sing that the sWas
tika typifies their people and thei
country and is even the emblem o
their God. They call it dearer thar
life.
This song is sung at camps in /;
solemn and impressive manner. 1t i
as a morning pledge, as an evening
prayer Boys and girls stand straigh
and stiff before Herr Hitler's flag
raise their arms and reconsecrat'
themselves to it as the emblem o
God, the German folk, and the Ger
man fatherland. After or befor'
such a ceremony, bold young MAJ
traitors from other lands are praises
and exalted for criminal acts per
formed on behalf of the Fuhrer
Assassins, destroyers of property
disseminators of false news, secre
Nazi agents are presented in al
aura of glory, as favorites of tn
leader as heroes of the movement.

told that America is a corrupt, de
cadent, oppressive plutocracy
