This is not a fact. But may I ask. how long would an American citizen be permitted to remain in Germany if he should assail. conspire. and disseminate false or even true publicity against Hitler and. if in Italy. against Mussolini? Surely. any such American citizen. if not immediately deported. would in most instances be severely punished and thrown into a concentration camp. The hundreds of letters that I originally received against the neutrality bill. and the hundreds of letters that I received from German organizations opposing aid to the Allies. letters and resolutions that I have received against nationaldefense legislation. and the disclosures of the activities of German consuls here and in South America. satisfy me that many of the German newcomers are here simply to create intolerance and to weaken our governmental structure. The general opposition in some groups to every utterance and action of President Roosevelt convinces me that there are hundreds of German agents in our midst who have infiltrated into this country. as I have stated. since Hitler began his program. as given in Mein Kampf.
