They show that although Bata pretends to be an American concern and exploits the power and prestige of our Government he actually serves Hitlers interest. In the course of so doing Bata uses powerful .connections high in the business and political life of our Nation. After having given this most thorough consideration I have come to the conclusion as many others have that Jan Bata is not a refugee from Hitler. Rather from the facts I have he seems to be a Hitler agent. In fact. there is no doubt in my mind that Batas claim of poverty is false.
