Re- cently, he was a leading witness be- fore the Senate Finance Committee, exposing the methods of Wall Street banks in issuing worthless foreign bonds in this country. Shows Unusual Points Continuing his praise of the Soviet Bonds, Mr. Dennis writes: “It is sig- nificant that the Soviet Government should be offering to investors in capitalist America a sound gold- standard bond at a time when the United States is repudiating its gold-standard obligations and em- barking on the uncharted seas of currency management and infla- tion... . therefore, no burden of gold debt) accumulated during and since the war by Soviet Russia to be compared with that weighing on the capitalist | nations.

Former Premier Edouard Herriot, president of the Senate commission on foreign affairs, landed yester- day in Odessa, on an informal visit to the Soviet Union. The increasing fraternising of sol- diers with workers, while the goy- ernment is attempting to use the army against the strikers and to dis- arm the workers and peasants, has resulted in an order to the soldiers forbidding them to take part in any popular celebrations or political manifestations.

Nira is here for a while, and will cut all our wages and break all our heads before it meets its own fate. And the liberals are going to do us good—as they did in the late war. It's the same gang, spouting the same noble phrases, and promising the same fascist utopia. Dr. Luttinger said recently that “con- stipation is one of the worst enemies of the revolution.” This was as witty and profound a remark as I had ever expected to read in the Daily Worker. But our good doctor-comrade should have not forgotten that one of the chief reasons why some reds suffer from constipation is liberalism. It, as the saying goes, gripes our guts. Te F has surprised many people to see the good old Daily Worker fixing itself up with a new set of American Clothes, a radio column, movie notes, sports, comic strips, Dr. Luttinger’s advice, and now, this, let us hope, column. T am also surprised. For nearly ten years I have been one of those who knew this was needed. To reach the masses one must talk their language, hot the jargon of a sect. This ought to be self-evident, but it never was.

It was like the eloquent speeches of a chronic drunkard promising to reform. The louder the thesis and manifesto, the surer the backsliding. Very quietly, a new region has ar- rived to the Daily, and this time, I, a sour old pessimist, feel a glow of hope. At last the Daily seems to be getting down to bedrock and com- mon sense. Now at best, it may be possible to help the Daily Worker be- come a@ mass-paper. So let us all help. Cheerfulness is a sign of health and sanity. In trenches or prison or on barricades, one must strive to remain human, Some bigots may think the new Daily Worker is being untrue to some- thing or other because it talks sim- ply. But the workers will understand. Anyone who has ever been through a strike knows thatthe high spirits and fighting energy of youth, with all its mistakes, is preferable to the sloth and over-cautiousness that, sometimes accompanies middle age. “We do our part.” Grover Whalen does his part for Nira, and we will that there was Jewish blood in his family, and began persecuting his relatives in Germany. In Saturday’s “Daily Worker’ we published a brief history of «the development of Hitler’s organiza- tions in America, of the founding of the League of the Friends of New Gerthany, and of the “Kultur- bund,” an aristocratic Nazi organ-- ization in which the “gentlemen” Nazis segregate themselves from paid riff-raff and small fry, who ave their Storm Troop, and ca: out the rowdy work. se (By a former Nazi) The League of the Friends of New Germany is largely composed ruined middle-class elements, e small tradesmén, clerks, semi-profes- sional people out of work. There are also a few broken-down workers out of a job, who retain the illusion that they can be helped by “their ‘bet= ters” among their countrymen, are whipped into rigid discipline, and do the strong-arm work, and any par- ticularly dirty tasks which the aims of the organization require. Elegant Quarters In Hotel The direction of the movement, however, is in the hands of the well- fed clique of the “Kulturbund.” They have elegant headquarters in the ever, is big German and American firms in America, which are systematically “shaken-down,” just as is done in Germany. Some of these firms pay up willingly, and are glad to support the Nazi move- ment. The others dare not refuse, because the Nazis hold over them the threat of action by the Nazis in Ger- many, who have supreme control over any business organization with any German connections. The Nazis in Germany have no trouble in mak- ing life miserable for anyone who holds out against them, and the link between the American and the Ger- man organizations is complete. All the leading members of the Ameri- can organization are also members of the German National Socialist Party. Forced to End Public Meetings ‘They also have the power to ap- prove or disapprove the German membership of any Nazi in America, and no American Nazi may go to Germany without special permission of the central body of the Nazis here, which exercises supreme au- Lodi over the fate of every mem- r. The “Bund der Freunde des neuen Deutschland” has its headquarters in East 83rd St., between Lexington and Third Aves. They hold their meet- given the American Nazis a series of specific tasks to carry out, and all their work is developed around this present program, which is as follows: First, to fight the boycott against Germany, which is one of the most painful and effective of the inter- national weapons which haye beer mobilized against the Nazis. Second, to carry out pro-Nazi and generally pro-German propaganda, pointing out all the “merits” of the Fascist regime first, of German in- dustries and products, and of Ger- many as a tourist paradise. Third, to carry out anti-French propaganda. In America this takes Precedence over anti-Semitic propa- ganda, since anti-French propaganda here serves best the aims of Nazi policy abroad. The main line of anti-French propaganda is to make France out to be a “debauched” and “degenerate” nation. Fourth, to carry out anti-Semitic Propaganda, as part of the cam- paign to justify Hitler’s bloody anti- Semitism. It is the task of the American Nazis to “prove” that all Jews are worthless and poisonous. Money Raising Main Task Fifth, to combat all anti-capitalist tendencies, and particularly to. com- bat Communism. It is the aim: of the Nazis to establish Nazi “cells” in They are first of all the American collecting agency of the Nazis. The first employment of the money they raise, after the extravagant ex- penses' of the “gentlemen” of the’ “Kulturbund” are met, is to send it to Germany. They are allowed to retain here sufficient for a rather modest propaganda campaign—to finance their papers, pay for rent of halls, postage, leaflets, etc, American Auxiliary The organization also has an American auxiliary, the Friends of Place, the same building which houses the German Consulate, with which Emerson keeps in intimate contact, where he used to have the “privilege” of shaking hands with the Hohen- sollerns. He cuts a ridiculous figure, walking around in the hottest days wearing gloves and a stiff collar. But during the war he had a horrible reputation, and was greatly feared by all his subordinates. When the war broke out he got himself a safe swivel-chair job, where he was for- ever safe from having to go to the front, and fought the war by bull- dozing and cruelty against the clerks who worked under him, He won the’ Iron Cross for this. He came into an inheritance after the war, which he promptly dissi- pated. He then came to America to make his fortune, but made a miser- able failure of it until with Hitler’s accession to power he got his chance to try for a bloody Nazi career. The president of the “Kulturbund” is George Schellenberg, adventurer and ex-movie actor, who lives at the George Washington Hotel and has a big job in a department store, where he is notorious for his vicious man- ner of treating the workers under him. He was an officer in the Ger- man army during the war, and has #3 typical Prussian overbearing manner, combined with general stu- pidity. Schellenberg lacks the intelligence Chief Spy Mixed In Murder of Red Leaders The other Herr, Sauerma-Douglas, is the chief of the spy division of the American Nazis. He directs the ac- tivities of a number of Nazis whose task is to make friends with Jewish families, in order to learn the anti- Nazi activities of the American Jew- ish organizations. Others of his un- derlings have the task of worming themselves into revolutionary work- ers’ organizations, to tong the part the son of a notorious man who was well known in Monte Carlo and other gambling resorts, and who, | during the war, was interned in Can-)), ada. He first gambled away the for- tune. he inherited from his parents, and then he gambled away the for- tune of his wife, whom he deceived and deserted. And with her he de- Serted his son... . ’ Seven of his ancestors have died on the scaffold, and after his death the number may be eight.” White Guard Accomplices Among his close associates are .@ chemist named O. Menzel, 555 West 170th St., and a large number of Rus- sian White Guards, among them Catherine Constantinova, the wife of L. Theremin, the physicist, a clever woman who is,intimately associated with him, and plays an important role by her ability to gain the cone fidence of people she meets, The other leader of the “Kultur- bund” is Mentzing of the North German Lloyd. He is the only one of this crew who is not an adven« turer and a failure, grasping at Hit« lerism as the chance for a new career. Many New York Nazis believe that Mentzing is the real brains leader of the American Nazi move+ ment, and the others, including Kurt ings in Kreutzer Hall,' 228 East shops plants loying German- carry spies provocat y Spanknoevel, of whom I wrote Deily, coming and going like the| do ours for the Daily Worker and|George Washington Hotel, on Lex- st see prveidla sede coheed have not a the Lene sh Oni oatene baht pil oi class history is a| Saturday, tals bast ‘ae his ot flowers that bloom in the spring, Each| the American working class. ington Ave, at 22rd St., and all the!
