the foes of aggression. Mr.. Cannon
said the new amount proposed lis
less than half the requests made by

committees formal report said that
production of munitions had not yet
reached the point where defeat of
the Axis nations was assured
"Our allies abroad" he said. ARE

and cannot survive without our
assistance. And, if they succumb we
must at some portion of our con-
tinent be faced by an aggressor who
in two short years has destroyed
every nation in Europe and with
them every vestige of free govern
ment.
Our allies are fighting in Mon
golia, in the deserts of North Africa,
above the English Channel, in the
Ukraine and above the frozen
steppes of Russia.
I'VE must supply them with clouds
of airplanes, acres of tanks, and
munitions to equal and surpass the
vast streams of machinery flowing
from aggressor countries.
This is war of machinery and a
battle of production. The nation
which can in the shortest length of
time put the greatest amount of
machinery on the battle line will
win"

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 8-George Syl-
vester Viereck, journalist, was de-
scribed by Government prosecutor
as "one of the most serious menaces
in this country" today at his ar
raignment on a charge of withhold
ing information when he registered
with the State Department as an
agent of a foreign power.
United States Commissioner Isaac
Patt held Mr.. Viereck in $40 900 bail
pending his removal to Washington
to plead to the indictment.
William Power Maloney, special
assistant to the Attorney General,
in requesting that bail be fixed at
$25 1000, said the German de-
fendant for years had been the chief
propagandist of the German govern
ment in this country.
High Nazi Fees Cited.
He is one of the most serious
menaces in this country" Mr.. Ma
oney told the court. He has re-
ceived from the German gfiovern-
ment as much as $40 900 in one year
to carry on his propaganda work"
Mr.. Maloney added that because
Of Mr.. Viereck's connection with the
German government, there is a
great possibility that he will never
be here for trial. and that is the
reason We are asking this high bail. -
This man is a German propa-
gandist going back to the last war"
he continued. He has written books
on German propaganda. AS to his
connections with the German gov
ernment, he admitted that In his
registration with the State Depart
ment."
The defendant waived removal
proceedings.
viereck Issues Statement.
In a long statement issued after
his arraignment, Mr.. Viereck
charged that if he had worked for
war as he had for peace, he would
not now stand indicted.
My real crime. whatever the ac-
cusation against me may be-" Mr..
Viereck added, lis two-fold: L am
an American of German blood and
1 oppose the desperate and despica-
BILE attempt to catapult our country
into Europe's war"
In a concluding paragraph, Mr..
Viereck said:
My indictment is only an Incl
dent in the peridious plot to
smother and smear all opposition to
the arbitrary forces cunningly at
work to destroy the America We
know and love"
Nigh Bail Is Fought.
Emil Morisini. jr., one of Mr..
Viereck's lawyers, argued against
high bail and said that Mr.. Viereck
was a United States citizen, had
lived with his wife and family here
for many years, and had two sons
in school in New England.
I'VE produced Mr.. Viereck In
Washington whenever the Govern
ment requested his presence there.
he added He appeared before the
grand jury and we have co-operated
fully with the Government and have
guaranteed to produce him in Wash
ington at any time in case an indict-
ment was returned.
His employment with the Ger
man government has ceased, as he
was employed by the German Bureau
of Information and that employ
ment stopped with the closing OF
the bureau last July"
