Not a word is said about liberty of constitution or democratic government. Those ideals are of no consequence. in fact. they are ridiculed and held to be so much drivel. And it is more than amusing to read in this pamphlet. put out by the leader of the Bund. a criticism of my own doings and a reference to the fact that I am "an immigrant from. Russia of Jewish stock." This socalled leader incidentally. claims to be a German World War veteran. who. of course. served in the army against the people of America when they sought to make the world safe for democracy and lost their lives in the attempt to prevent kaiserism and the very ideals which this leader holds so holy. The men and women in this House whose sons. daughters. brothers. and sisters served in that World War to make the world safe for democracy must surely resent such unguarded. language on the part of a naturalized alien whose only Interest in America is to convert us into the Nazi ideology. It is a far cry from the humility of those who signed the armistice on November 11. 1918. to this arrogance and aggressive manner in which these same men are trying to teach America how to conduct its affairs. This country Is not alone in being infested with Nazi organized agents who seek to undermine our Government by all means. fair or foul.
