Nye AssaiIs Racial
Prejudice in Speech
To Steuben Society
Germun-Americuns
Are Told They Are
Under Suspicion
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Sept. Ex-senator
Nye, Republican, of North Dakota
said tonight that nothing is so
destructive of the grandest ideals
of Americanism as the will to instill
racial strife and racial prejudice"
which has pointed the finger of
suspicion at Germanic Americans.
In a radio address, delivered be-
fore the Steuben Society of Amer
lea, marking the 211th birthday
anniversary of Gen. Won Steuben of
George Washington's Revolutionary
War staff, the senator added:
Here are you, who pay annual
tribute to the memory Of one who
contributed so largely to the divorce
ment of America from the hates,
the intrigues, the jealousies, the
politics and the wars of Europe.
But you who continue year in and
out that tribute--you are under
suspicion. Those who spring from
race that contributed Gen Won
Steuben to the winning of inde-
pendence for America, you are under
suspicion"
Heavy Police Guard.
The meeting, also marking the
154th anniversary Of the adoption
of the Constitution and the 22nd
anniversary of the founding OF the
society, was held in the Biltmore
Hotel where a guard of nearly $50
policemen was ordered stationed.
Senator Nye paid tribute to your
splendid record of Americanism'
and added that with all my heart
and soul I detest the planting OF
foreign 'isms' in our land and among
its people"
The Senator declared there can
never be unity in this country as
long as 'it is proven that deception
is resorted to in winning that unity"
For example" he said, I'VE once
heard it said by our leadership that
there might be Nazis in Greenland
when there were no Nazis in Green
land.
Again we have been told that
the Nazis were infesting South
America and especially Colombia
that they had secret air landing
fields in Colombia Recently dele
CATION of Congressman visited Co.
lombia and returned with the word
that there wasn't even Nazi SYM
pathy in Colombia; that there were
no hidden air fields in Colombia.
Discounts U. S. Danger.
President Roosevelt referred to
reports of hidden air fields in that
Latin American country in a recent
speech.
Americans, when America is at
stake, will give every ounce and
every measure of unity that an in
telligent people can and will afford
But that unity can be invited only
by frankness; that unity can never
be won on the issue of hunting fol-
and building for war for America
IF the danger to America is as
great as some would have us be-
ieve," he said, I'VE ought not to lei
loose of a single ounce of power, 6
shell, a ship, a gun or a plane
When, if ever, war is declared by
the Congress America will
stand united. But until that time
there cannot be, there must not be
unity in inviting involvement in
war"
In an interview before the meet
ing, Senator Nye said there was still
a $3.50 chance for this country to
