WHERE IS YOUR F. B. I. ?
Treason, whether manifesting- itself in defeat
ism, isolationism or fifth columnism, is not con
fined to the alien mobs of Detroit, Chicago and
New York.
It is not afraid—thanks to the poison distribu
ted by Lindbergh. Wheeler and Nye and thei v
ilk —to lift its hydra head and spit its venom
even in our North Carolina.
Listen to this choice bit of Nazi-Fascist-Com
munism emanating from Dr. P. 0. Schallert, r
German of Winston-Salem, spoken at the 11
o'clock morning services at the Center Methodist
Church in Yadkin county, last week.
Dr. Schallert had been scheduled to address the
men's class, following with a temperance sermon
to the main church congregation.
The incident is reported by the Winston-Salem
Evening Sentinel, from which we quote:
"Dr. Schallert explained that Hitler was a tem
perate man and a man of good morals. Officers
of the men's class said that Dr. Schallert advised
them to write to their congressmen and tell them
to refuse to give aid to Britain.
"Hardly anyone stayed in church for the main
.address."
Dr. Schallert praises Hitler for his temperance
and morality. If Dr. Schallert is posted on the
history of Hitler since he began his conquests,
he must know that if Hitler does not indulge in
wine or beer, that he DOES drink the blood of
countless thousands of defenseless men, and o!'
helpless women and little children.
Does Schallert deny that the Feuhrer U a
DRUNKARD who has gorged himself with the
life blood of unoffending peoples?
Is Hitler a moral man?
Surely with Dr. Schallert'* learning and intelli
gence he knows the meaning of MORALITY?
Does not Schallert know that Hitler is the
greatest thief of all time, who has raided nation
j after nation and appropriated their lands, their
armaments and their food to feed his hordes?
! Leaving the helpless people in slavery— sec
France, Belgium, Norway, Czechoslovakia, etc.
Hitler caused the murder through his Gestapo
oi more than 16,000 of the flower of the intelli
gent and patriotic men and women of Poland.
! These people not killed in battle, but MuR
; DERED in cold blood- in his policy to exterminate
intelligent resistance to his policies.
Is mass murder MORALITY ?
"Dr. Schallert advised the churchgoers of Cen
iter Methodist Church to write their congressmen
Ito give T.O aid to Britain.''
Does not Dr. Schallert know that congress anil
Die President t.nd the leaders of this government
are doing all tiiev can to give aid to Britain,
which action they consider the first essential to
America's defer lse?
And doee not the Dr. know that to use his posi
rkn in an effort to thwart this movement —whic '
is now a law of this nation—he is aiding and
abetring the enemies of this nation and thereby
becomes in spirit—if not in fact—a traitor to the
free nation whose protection he now enjoys?
Center Church is an emblem of that holy reli
gion which the democracies of America and Eng
land honor and revere- cherish and protect.
It is an emblem of that which Hitler hates and
which he is doing all In his power to efface from
the earth.
We wonder if Center was not desecrated by
the presence of a Hitler agent in its holy pre
cincts.
The church people, on the Monday after the
Hitler sermon, hunted up the pastor to find who
authorized Schallert to be present.
• The minister did not know except that he was
"jmit there" by a temperance committee. Doubt

the Hun propaganda usually works.
As late as last September 10, 1940, this news
paper in an editorial sounded the warning* that
this man Schallert—almost omnipresent in the
columns of a Winston paper—was writing Fifth
Column stuff.
We believed him then an emissary of the Third
Reich. Our belief has a hundred per cent, been
strengthened.
