SPAIN’S “HELPERS”

“By the spring of 1934 what I had heard, seen and felt, revealed to me that conditions of living were worse than in pre-Hitler days, that the most complicated and heart-breaking system of terror ruled the country and repressed the freedom and Happiness of the people, and that German leaders were inevitably leading these docile and kindly masses into another war against their will and their knowledge and for which they would have to pay not only with their homes, property and civilisation, but also with their very lives.”—Miss Martha Dodd, daughter of an American ambassador to Berlin. Miss Dodd went to Germany as an enthusiastic proNazi. After four and a naif years’ stay in Berlin she returned to the U.S.A, convinced by the corruption and degeneracy of the Nazi leaders whom she met, and the terror that menaced everyone with whom she came in contact, that Fascism' means the spiritual and physical oppression of all who come under its power.
