Se,\\\NG)Q‘ | WASHINGTON—Last year U. S. taxpayers shelled out a total of $1217346 of their bhard-earned money to reimburse the Post Office for handling a total of 45128977] pieces of free mail sent by members | of Congress. But now it develops that part of this money was spent to mail lit-| erature for an organization which the Justice Department charges was financed by German agents. In other words, the unknowing and innocent taxpayer joined with Hit- ler's boys in helping certain isola-; tionist Congressmen flood they country with propaganda. This was why such a hot game of hide-and-go-seek was played in| the America First Committee and in the basement of Congress in an; effort to dispose of mail bags| crammed with franked propngandai belonging to Representative Ham Fish. The bags had been whi.sked; cut of the Make Europe Pay Warl Debts Committee just before the Justice Department raided it. Congressman Pish’s franked en-| velopes escaped the FBI raiders, but | the mail bags of several other Con- gressmen did not. Most of these Congressmen had voted for an act requiring everyone who distributed propaganda for a foreign country to register with the State Depart- ment. Yet these Congressmen ap- peared to have violated the spirit of the act for which they voted| by loaning their sacred free mailing! privilege to an organization de- |jail liberately in the business of Ior-. cign propaganda.
