FIGHT OVER THE BUND

One bone of contention was the German American Bund and the role it should play after the dec laration of hostilities. The Bund had been promoted directly from Berlin by Propag a Il d Minister Goebbels, over the bitter opposition of the old-line German bureau crats in both Berlin and Washing ton. Dr. Tannenberg deserves Am erican thanks for at least partially sabotaging the Bund! The Herr Doktor left no stone unturned to make the path of the Bund a rough one.
 Dr. Zapp, who was in the Nazi camp, wrote fretful complaints to Berlin demanding that Tannenberg be removed, but the latter had powerful influence in the old-l line bureaucracy of Berlin. It saved him. Even young Ernst Hepp, the Embassy's public relations officer, hiiOhll do OliC Ol 0l- 1OCUUCiS bright young men," finally sided with the anti-Nazi contention that the Bund was doing Germany more harm than good.
 The employment of George Syl- yester Viereck by the Propaganda Ministry was deeply resented by the anti-Nazi Germans-who even whispered to their American friends that 'Vierick is part-Jewish, yet Goebbels gives him job, and after the last war that Viereck spread dirty, rotten lies against the Kaiser and his family What can we expect of him now?"
 Strategy of the old-line diplo- mats was to win over American in- dustrialists and big bankers through favorable trade agreements, cartels and patent exchanges; and to es- tablish friendly contacts with cer- tain of the State Departments fas- cist-minded career men.
 The Nazis, on the other hand.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2 Mars in benefic aspect rules this
 day, which should bring reports of
 brilliant action by United Nations armies.
 HEART AND HOME: An urge
 to serve with the armed forces will
 be responsible for the enlistment of
 many young women in various
 branches of the service. Wars ter
 rible tides will sweep away inhi-
 biions which have prevented earl fer volunteering.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Although
 business has steadily advanced this year, the stock market will con-
 tinue to show little change except when a victory sends quotations
 upward. There may be decided depression before there is a spec
 tacular upward movement. NATIONAL ISSUES: Inequali- ties in sacrifices under war con-
 citions will cause bitter resentment
 as casualty lists grow. Demands that profiteers and pleasure-seekers be suppressed will reach Congress
 but it will be unable to correct many conditions that couse criti- cism.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS g.:
 Daring technical genius revealed by United Nations leaders will in- crease confidence in an early vic- tory over the Germans, but again
 astrologers forecast the high cost
 of success. Desperate conflict will lretard the inevitable Nazi defeat. Persons whose birthdate it is

TyTIE organizational genius OF
l. the Communist party best
expresses itself in the number
and variety of associations
which are from time to time set
up for special purposes, but
which are controlled through an
interlocking group whose names
appear and reappear whenever
a new setup is arranged.
Atty. Gen. Biddle once estab-
lished by memorandum the par
ticular organizations which the
department of justice, for its
particular purposes, accepted as
Com munist or Communist
dominated.
The actual number IS much
larger than Biddle's list shows,
and the newest one, the Polit-
ical Action Committee, was or
ganized subsequent to its issu-
ance.
The committee on un-Amer-
lean activities of the House OF
Representatives, in an analytical
report of the Political Action
Committee. shows that of 141
names on the National Citizens
Action Committee, 81 are men,
bers of organizations w / C h
Atty. Gen. Biddle declared to
be subversive and Communist.
OF these 50, shall list those
whose participation in this in
terlocking arrangement appears
five times and over, and the
figure after the name indicates
the number of organizations Of
this type which the individual
joined:
Louis Adamic (6), William
Rose Bennett 60. Elmer Benson
90, Mary Mcleod Bethune 90,
James B. Carey 60. Joseph

Williams (S), Paul Robson (8D,
Reid Robinson (6), Frederick l..

Waterman Wise (6).
Many persons on this Polit-
ical Action Committee list be-
longed to fewer than five Of
these interlocking organizations.
NOW, let us go one step
~ further. One Of these inter-
locking organizations was de-
voted to anti-war activities dur
ing the Hitler-Stalin alliance.
This was the American peace
mobilization which picketed the
White House, as you may recall.
On the Political Action Com
mittee there are IL members
who also belonged TO this or

went out of business when the
alliance was broken.

You exhibit this pass at the
gate and again as you enter the

now in a big lobby, dominated
by an enormous flat-topped
table. gift of Aguinaldo, the old
Filipino insurrectionist. So far
as / know this table has never
been used for anything except
a hatrack for reporters.
Conferences are usually 10 to
20 minutes behind schedule
seldom on time. You show your
pass twice more as you move
into the Presidents sanctum--
the secret service men scrutinize
IL each time no matter how
familiar they are with your
kisser.
When everybody is assembled
before the Presidents desk, a
guard shouts "All inw The doors
are locked and no one ca. leave
until it's over. This is neces-
sary, because. whenever the
President says anytime hot,
every good reporter has a ter
rife itch to get to a phone.
F. D. r. tells what news he
wishes to give out. Then the
session is thrown open to ques-
tons.
Well. at our most recent
frolic, the President said he had
only one piece of news to wit:
that. no matter what rumors
were current, he positively did
not have the sniffles.
BY way of proof he shifted
loudly. We all laughed like
hyenas.
Then somebody asked about
his statement that he would not
campaign in the usual political
sense. The President said this
represented only half a SEN
tence.
Then he really startled us.
After the press conference, he
said. he would ask the guards
to shoot us!
Well, a number of us are in
clined to be narrow-minded
and averse TO being bullet
riddled. But F. D. r. added that
he would ask the guards TO
shoot us-except that he'd go
to the electric chair for il.
You should have heard our
howls of relief!
The President said that after
hearing the full sentence he
presumed we felt fairly safe.
Not too safew cracked a re-
porter-and we went into hys-
terics all over again.
When IL subsidized, F. d. r.
said his full sentence had been

sense. except 10 answer misrep-
reservations and gross mis-
statements of fact.
