NAZIS AND FASCISTS
ACTIVITIES IN AMERICA STARTLING REVELATIONS MADE EFFORT TO DIVIDE NATION (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received August 27, 3.15 p.m.) NEW YORK, August 26 Senator Dies claims that there is positive evidence that Italy, Germany and Russia are flooding the United States with propaganda, designed to disrupt national defence and prevent American aid to Britain. He declared that the committee has seized records in Texas, the west coast and Kansas City proving that Nazis and Fascists, working through Americans descended from Germans and Italians, are disseminating propaganda designed to divide the United States religiously and racially and aid the efforts to establish spies and saboteurs in the key defence industries. The committee’s file contained the names and histories of 100.000 persons prominent in Nazi and Fascist activities since the World War. Germany mailed hundreds of thousands of pieces of literature throughout the United States under the free mailing agreement. The committee has obtained the names of 1250 German sympathisers on the west coast, the majority of whom are employed in aircraft and other key defence industries.
