There is com- plete suppression of the newspapers. One periodical, for instance, asked certain questions concerning the Reichstag fire. It was suppressed for six months. Even weeklies sell- ing for 60 pfennigs and more, which is very expensive for Germany, are suppressed if they criticize. Goering’s March 10 speech, broad- cast over the government radio, was so violent that Hitler had to follow him in an hour with a very mild address, and the press reports of Goering’s talk were censored. It has already been decided that no Jew will be allowed to have a government job or to enter the army. Jews will be excluded from certain professions. All the big Jews who were the heads the Northern territory, while Bersin was to seize the Kremlin, arrest the members of the plenum of the All- Russian C. E. C., then in session, and shoot Lenin, its president. Rail- road bridges were to be blown up, banks, etc., occupied, and ex-officers organized to hold Moscow and convev the arrested Bolsheviks to Archangel. The only flaw was that Comrade Bersin informed turned over the imperialist bribe.

I do not think it was very smart of the Nazis to expropriate the Com- munists and use the offices and buildings of the Communist Party for their own work. This must excite the Communists quite unnecessarily. You know that I am not sympa- thizing at all with the Communists, but they have never been worse than the Nazis, and it is surprising enough that the material which the Nazis pretend to have found in the Karl Liebknecht House is today, after 20 days have passed, as yet unpublished. They promised to show us the “ter- rible things” that the Communists planned, but the material is hidden by the Nazis, God knows why. Nazis who have murdered Commu- nists or Socialists are acquitted, those in prison have been freed, many of them given high government jobs. The speeches of Hitler, Goering, Goe- bels, etc., are broadcast all day. Be- sides this, there are war scenes broadcast with the best possible im- itation of machine guns and heavy artillery, etc. Instead of real music, only military marches. Tomorrow the opening of the Reichstag will take place in Potsdam, what they call, the “sacred soil of Germany.” If you had read the safety measures they are taking, you would see how uneasy the National Socialists must feel. No one is al- lowed to throw flowers; the people of Potsdam are even forbidden to open their windows; no packages or suitcases may be taken into Petsdam tomorrow.

HARBIN, Manchuria, April 8—The Japanese are intensifying their cam- paign of provocation against the So- viet Union. The Chinese Eastern railway lines have been cut at Man- chuli and will probably again be cut at Pogranichinaya, thus destroying all rail connections between Man- churia and the Soviet Union. The pretext for this Japanese act of ag- gression is that the Soviet Govern- ment has been guilty of a “theft” of rolling stock and of diverting the box cars of the Chinese Eastern into Si- beria. At the same time the Japan- ese complain of “unauthorized” So- viet arms shipments to Vladivostok. As the Chinesé Eastern, connecting Vladivostok with Central Siberia, is entirely Soviet owned it is difficult to see how Soviet shipments on the line can be “unauthorized” or how the Soviet can be guilty of “theft” of its own rolling stock.

WASHINGTON, April 9.—Invita- all over the world and increases tre-| tions from the Roosevelt administra- tion through Secretary of State Hull have been sent to eleven nations in- viting representatives to come to Washington for discussions prelim- inary to the world economic confer- ence, The latest invitations were sent to Canada and Mexico. The Canadiau invitation will most probably be followed by one to Australia, mak- ing twelve nations invited in all. Invitations to British dominions are a further attempt of Wall Street im- perialism to take advantage of the disintegrating tendencies in the Brit- ish empire to force the English gov- ernment to retreat from its support of Japan against American aggression in the Pacific. Will Increase Conflicts ‘The other nations invited are Brit- ain, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, China, Argentina, Chile and Brazil ‘The objective of Wall Street’s govern- ment at Washington is to arrive at preliminary secret agreements in rc- gard to its war drive in South and Central America, defeat the British The above paragraph gives you an idea of what conditions are like in Germany, and I am truly sorry that I did not follow your example and clear out of the country in time.

Yesterday the police claimed that they found hand grenades concealed behind a monument, which they al- Jeged were to be used in an attempt to assassinate Hitler.
