A report by the Dutch police described Vanderlubbo as a continual agitator—first; an Anarchist and then a Communist —and one who had frequently been arrested. Ho abandoned agitation in .1931, presumably because he left the Communist. Party. 'Vandcrlubbc sat dejected, lie. admitted that he left the Communists in 1929 because he was not made leader of the espionage organisation. A former Socialist, May Brelkowitz, when questioned regarding a telegram sent to member.- of the Reichstag in March, alleging that Vanderlubbo had stayed with Brclkewitz and ontcrtained local Nazis, admitted that it : might be a case of mistaken identity, i Vanderlubbo laughed, and when I questioned he said he was laughing j at the trial.
