"John l." Helped coil" Nazi
War Machine
One of the most sensational aspects
of the report was the charge that
John L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers (AFL) and former
head of the CLIO, helped the nazis
obtain Mexican oil for their war mach
| inc, aided Hermann Goering,' s plan
for negotiated peace and then agreed
to fantastic German scheme to de-
| feat Roosevelt for reelection in 1910.
The report details State Dept docu-
ments, written by then Asst. Sec. of
State A. A. Berle, Jr, at the specific
request of Roosevelt, which cites the
labor leaders, activities on behalf of
the nazis. Associated with Lewis in
these ventures, and pictured as com
pletely dominating him, is the late
William r. Davis, wealthy oil pro-
moter who allegedly acted as a nazi
agent and was the link between Lewis
and Goering. The report says the nazis
had S. million slush fund available
to defeat Roosevelt in 1910, but there
is no evidence that Lewis received
any part of it.
Dewey Pleased Nazs
Rogge, in his report, which is based
on interviews with various nazi lead
ers who since were executed at MUIR
emberg, says the nazis were willing to
back anyone in their scheme to get
rid of Roosevelt
They preferred Gov Thomas E.
Dewey of New York and tried to work
for his election in 1914. The anti-Semi-
tic tinge in the 1914 campaign, capped
by the "Clear it with Sidney" slogan
had the nazis chortling with glee
Other persons they regarded as not
too hostile to them, according to
Rogge, were er-Pres. Herbert Hoover,
ex-Vice Pres. John NJ. Garner, former
Postmaster Gen. James A. Farley and
particularly Senator Wheeler.
One of the most important sections
of the report has been completely
ignored by virtually all papers. This

lions And Conclusions. In it Rogge de-
clares:
international fascism, though de-
feated in battle, is not dead. The en-
emies of democracy did not lay down
their weapons on We or VI Day
Such AS Montana Citizens Council
'Fascism is not dead in the U. S.
On the contrary, it is now in the pro-
cess of postwar reconversion j. The
old familiar faces are once again
spouting the old familiar fascist lies
Out from under the stones once more
are sprawling those Americans who
until Pearl Harbor damned democracy,
our President and Congress, applauded
every axis triumph and echoed every
nazi propaganda tune spread disunity
and hate"
As part of his recommendations
Rogge proposed grand jury investi-
CATION of Eggleston and Stewart and |
heir Indictment for perjury. Under
the statute of limitations, this indict-
ment must be returned by December,
otherwise they cannot be tried for
telling a grand jury in 1911 that they
didn't know the source of the $4,000
they received to publish their pro-nazi |
Rogge points out in the
'eport that both men were liable for
rial under the foreign agents regis
ration act but that the statute of
limitations has already saved them
rom that charge.
He also recommends, without re-
ret" that the trial of the &c alleged
editionists be dropped-"nolle pros
