LET AMERICANS
READ AND PONDER
WRITER WHO ATTENDED
MEETING OF GERMAN
BUND, DESCRIBES THE
AMAZING BRAZENRY AND
UN AMERICANISM OF NAZIS
IN NEW YORK.
One of the editorial writers of
the Boston Christian Science Mon
itor, which is one ofthe leading
and mosl conservative news
papers of America, gives the fol
lowing report of a meeting of the
German Bund which he recently
attended.
Every reader of the Reporter
will read and enjoy this article
with interest and amazement:
New York—l attended a Nazi
rally here in Greater New York.
It was as un-American as Adolpn
Hitler. It resembled meetings I
have seen in Nurembereg, Munich,
and Vienna.
Here in the greatest metropolis
of America, I saw people who
pretended to be my fellow citizens
sing Nazi songs, wear Nazi uni
forms, display Nazi swastikas,
raise their hands in the Nazi sa
lute, and solemnly vow unlimited
devotion to Nazi Germany. They
poured out flaming scorn upon
American ideals, gave vent to fu
rious hatred toward other Amer
icans, reviled the head of the
American state, and repeatedly
shouted "Sieg Heil" (Hail Vic
tory)—just as Nazis do in every
country they control.
This was a meeting of the
Bund, the German Nazi party in
America. This really was Herr
Hitler's American Partie Tag,
held under the protection of the
American police. Seven hundred
people vociferously participated in
it
The occasion for it was the per
version of a noble historical
event. Herr Hitler's followers pre
tended to be commemorating the
arrivtfl in America of the first
German colonial leader, Pastorius,
who came to these shores with a
group of brave German Chris
tians to find religious freedom.
These first devoted pioneers from
Germany deserve all honor.
But the Nazis at this Bund
meeting did not honor them.
They dishonored them. They per
formed an act of sacrilege in their
name. They used Christian pio
neers as an ambush, behind which
to attetcfe America.
Nad Technique
That is an established Nazi,
technique. They hide behind
Washington, behind our Fourth
of July, behind our flag. They do
the same in all countries. They
pick national holidays, national
flares, and national emblems in I
each land to serve as masks for
destructive activity.
In the hall where the Bund
IffH Its M l ?' -ere openly display
ed .swnr HV -~ .c emblem of the
man who d-. t 'inta his deter
mination to aaujia.ate democra
cy. Kerr Hitler's picture was
evenly sold. A tangs new Nun
hook just publtofeed is America
—«* called "Hitler Is Right,- wmi

..-ted.
..-..J «... I
Volume 66
j The Nazi Fuhrer has organized
the whole German world to ex
terminate Americanism; yet
"Americans" gather to proclaim
"Hitler is right," and to sing
hymns of praise to his new or
der, akin to one version of a
song which says: "Today Ger
many is ours; tomorrow the
whole world."
I
J Among these 70k Nazis, 200
had been trained and drilled;
many wore uniforms. They
marched into the hall in forma
tion, as an army. They are
Herr Hitler's soldiers in America,
| trained and instructed to help
their "leader" destroy America.
I saw Herr Hitler's followers
march like that in Austria— it
is destroyed. I saw them march
like that in Czechoslovakia—it is
destroyed. I saw them march
like that in Rumania—it is a
helpless vassal of Nazi con
querors. I saw them march like
that in Hungary—Hungary takes
orders from "the Fuhrer." I
heard Nazis sing: "Today Ger
'many is ours; tomorrow the
!whole world" echo over South
east Europe and already most OL
that world is theirs.
Assurance cf Conqueror
Nazi leaders at this meeting
were eloquent and forceful speak
ers. August Klaprott, Gauleiter
j (district leader) of the East,
spoke in German. He is tali,
i
handsome, persuasive. He display
ed the assurance of a conqueror;
he conducted himself as the emis
sary of a world master, about to
determine the fate of a weak, di
vided America.
"God," he grandiloquently de
clared, "stands and falls with the
power of German arms",, The au
dience applauded. They were
lifted up as cm wings when they
learned that their "Fuhrer" gave
orders even to "Herr Gott," as
Herr Klaprott called the Deity.
"Nothing can sever our bonds
with new Germany", the speaker
shouted. "With our last breath,'
he cried, "we shall pray for a
German peace, which shall be a
peace of justice. And sprayer
ahuie is not enough."
The hall rang with the pro
longed applause of 1,400 bands.
Herr Hitler's followers joyfully
shouted their supreme devotion
to a foreign state.
Herr Klaprott devoted much ox
'his speech to complaining against
alleged persecutions of the Ger
mans in America. That is one of
( the most fundamental elements in
the classic Nazi technique. The
NasSs made all Germany echo
with complaints of persecution.. In
( little Australia the Nazis cried &
million times: "Germans are per*
jsecuted!" In Rumania the Car
pathian Mountains resounded with
"Germans are persecuted!" In
Czechoslovak P." Bohemian
woods reverberate.. t, .th "Ger
mans are persecute!" Now in
America, "Germans are ponweu
ted!" shouted the Nazis.
Across the end of the hail was
a great Nad' banner, proclthaiag,
"We German-Americas#
equal rights!"

(An Editorial.)
THE SUN SETS ON THE BRITISH FLAG ?
Lord Lothian, British ambassador to the
United States, said this week that England is
spending in its war with the Axis powers, 36 mil
lion dollars a dav, or more than one billion dol
lars a month. HP added that necessarily Great
Britain is fast approaching the end of its finan
cial resources.
Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy, American
representative at London, who is home on a
leave of absence, is reported by the Washington
Merry-Go-'Round as saying, "England is vir
tually defeated " The ambassador has told the
State department at Washington that he would
definitely not return to London.
| An uncensored dispatch from London yester
day, by Minister of Shipping Ronald H. Cross,
admitted that Britain is losing ships faster than
she can replace them. An appeal is made "to
the shipyards of the United States to help the
empire against Germany's sea blockade."
The last sentence of the dispatch said these
ominous words: 'These are the darkest days for
England."
When the sun sets on the British flag, every
church bell in England should be tolled. An
echo of the sad and dismal sound will be wafted
across the Atlantic for America to hear too. The
bells will sound their own requiem, for socn they
will be melted into cannon to fight the United
States.
England's plight reacted in Washingt )n, into
strong sentiment calling for more help to Eng
land, including financial assistance to enai'e her
; o go on with the fight.
No sooner than this, Senator Johnson of Cali
fornia, fanatical isolationist and bitter opponent
of help for England, threw a fit. He said:
"There will be one hell of a fight in Congress if
an attempt is made to repeal my bill."
The able Senator from California, a State first
vulnerable to Pacific attack by German-Japan
ese sea power, is in his dotage, and suffers with an
obsession. He is of that type of pacifists and ap
peasers that led Poland, France, etc., into comp
lacent unresisting vassalage. The Senator is un
wittingly willing to sacrifice his country to his
opinions.
The plight of the enslaved populations of Eu
rope should be argument enough to the intelli
gent government and people of America of the
danger to this nation offered by the European
whose ambition when realized over there,
will turn toward America.
Pacifists, fifth columnists, appeasers, subversi
v'ists, Communists, Nazis and other types of en
»?naes to the peace and safety of America, should
be ostracised from the ranks of the clear-seeing
and patriotic men and women of Americd, who
have sense or conscience enough to realize
America's imminent peril. The Johnsons,
Claris, Holts, Vandenbergs, Lindberghs, Brow
sers and all their ilk should be branded as po
tential or real enemies of the free government of
the United State? and dealt with as such.
All the power and resources i«. industry, money
and men of America will be r- .d to preserve
the ideals, the democracy, t civiliza
tion of the world whose only champions are Eng
land and America.
The American government r,"i people are con
fronted with the choice:
1. Help England fight the ._ attle, or
2. Fi ■ l . tit alone.
