S. S. Washington. which in June sailed to France and Ireland to bring back refugees. This is one of the ships which our Government was advised by the German Government was intended to be blown up by the British on the high seas on its way home. In its crew of about 600 members. we find on that ship 155 native Germans. more than 74 of whom have been naturalized within 2 years. Is it too much to suppose that it was the plan of Hitler to have one of those Germans plant bombs in that ship. blow it up in midocean. and blame it on England? Ships of the American line. with many German crew members. sail continually through the great Panama Canal and see everything there is to be seen there. That is merely an example of an isolated instance of the infiltration that is taking place by the Nazis in this country. and the oath of allegiance is specifically repudiated by Hitler. who says in so many words that he urges them to become naturalized American citizens in order that they may better serve the greater Germany. Mr. President.
