The organization is concerned with listing all of the resources owned by GermanAmericans. and whether or not the eventual desire is to levy a tax on American citizens of German origin. there is no question but that the office operates efficiently and that they have in their files hundreds of thousands of names of persons who. in the event of war. might be used to the detriment of the United States. I do not wish to appear as an alarmist and do not wish to create a bogey to frighten our people by reading the article I have just mentioned. but I cannot refrain from comparing the methods of the German office in Stuttgart with those of GermanAmerican Bund in this country. Both organizations seem to be concerned with one object. and that is to keep alive artificially an attachment to the country from which our citizens of German extraction have long since emigrated and with which they have absolutely no ties. I know that the bulk of our Americans of German origin are patriotic and sincerely devoted to the interests of the United States. and that there is no divided loyalty among them. The exceptions which are found in the membership of the GermanAmerican Bund and other similar organizations do not destroy my faith In Americans of German blood.
