WHEN AND WHOM

", ANTI-COMINTERN PACT •-Germany was using Japan as a “ stooge ” when she declared war on the United States, said Fraulein Elizabeth Knaust, former archivist for Propaganda Minister Josef Goebbels from 1933 to 1937, speaking at the wJ.'ew York Town Hall on Bth December. She described the Anti-Comintern I- ct of five years before as a milit* ry arrangement between Japan and Germany that gave Germany the rgh't to tell Japan when and whom t attack. Japan, in turn, was guaranteed a free hand in Asia, excluding India, and was promised part of our western coast for naval bases to help

ikeep the United States in submission, ■ she said. Germany is behind the strikes in our defence industries, declared Miss Knaust, who till she fled from Germany in 1938 was one of seven employees of the Nazi Propaganda Ministry permitted access to the confidential files* “ There are hundreds of provacateurs in factories who would readily sell the right of American workers to foreign Powers.” She. warned that Germany knew the location of every factory engaged in war-time industries, and knew “ where to stage sabotage in the shortest time possible,” and “where to create unrest the workers.”—New York Times.—
