The series of
articles now appearing in the eagle revealing the extent and
character of foreign propaganda undermining religious and civil
liberty in the United States has evoked heated comment from
readers of all persuasions. Some were high in their praise,
while others roundly condemned the articles. All such comments
appear below.
Would-Send Them Back
FOR
Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle:
According to the
articles now appearing in The Brooklyn Eagle, America has been
nursing vipers in its bosom who are now ready to bite the hand
that has fed them. How long would Germany and Russia tolerate
such business as is being done here by their people? They would
be shot at sunrise if anyone would try to plan against either
country. I would not suggest that but would like to see them
all sent back where they came from and leave America for those
who appreciate her and love her enough to be true. It is high
time the politicians stopped playing politics and worked
together to save our dear country from traitors. God hasten the
day when America wakes up and asserts her rights. We have no
room here for traitors; the sooner they are dealt with the
better it will be for all.

through the old papers in the cellar to find the inclosed
clippings which I think are of some significance.

Alone with horror what is taking place in
Russia, but what is taking place in Germany, where people are
persecuted, put in prison and murdered because they will not
give up their religion.
Let us not sit
back in an easy chair and say “There is no danger, it cannot
happen here.” Too often those words have been used, and at the
unexpected moment it did happen. Let our nation awake and
combat the danger while there is yet time. Let everyone be on
guard, wide awake. Our country must never be large enough to
embrace and tolerate those that try to break down what
Washington and Lincoln stood for.
All these
traitors should be brought to the steamers and bid a final
goodby, and no one belonging to these parties that only cause
destruction of everything that is dear to us should be permitted
to step on our soil under any consideration whatever.
A few weeks ago I
celebrated the 56th anniversary of my ordination. I
should be a traitor and God in promise made at ordination if I
did not join in the battle in this nefarious propaganda.

German-American Anti Nazi Had Career Ruined
by Bund
Most impressive
of all the letters receiver from readers of The Eagle, praising
or condemning the “Peril to Freedom” series, was one from a man
who has had his career ruined and the performance of his
official duties menaced by a “German Club.” Gustave Neuss,
resident of the village of Yaphank, L.I., site of the Bund’s
Camp Siegfried, and Justice of the peace of the Town of

Nazis Teach Children Here To hate Jews
8-Year-Olds Are Drilled Under Swastika Flag in German Language
(continued from page 1)
American history
is mentioned, it is to show German-Americans saved the country
from “Jewish destruction.”
To emphasize the
German tieup the best little scouts varying ages and both sexes
are chosen to go on trips to the “Fatherland,” from which they
send back glowing reports in phrases of hysterical adulation.
These are reproduced in the youth publication, Junges Volk.
The Bund yearbook
declares that “in coming years all unity and all efforts will be
required to put an end to the former crippling of the young
Americanization” - referring to the young Germans who have emigrated
to the United states. “Hence the youth groups are a real
achievement for Germany.”
In the Nazi talk
there is repeated reference to the day - “Der Tag” - when “trouble”
will come in America and those organized in the bund will rise up to
oppose and defeat it. And the youngsters, since the day may be long
deferred, must be reds-radical-Jews, all jumbled together as in the
regular Nazi formula.
“We may be gone
soon,” band leaders, speaking of their youth movement, declare, “and
the youth must carry on our fight against Judaism, would bolshevism
and communism.”
Literature Defames Jews
There is literature
for the children, some of it coming out of Germany, some of it
coming from Nuremberg, home town of Julius Streicher, No. 1
distiller of anti-Semitic race hatred.
A popular children’s
book, published in Nuremberg - a picture book is bright colors and
with little reading matter, sub-titled, “A Picture book for Young
and Old” is filled with typical Streicher acts calculating to
instill the idea that Jews is a sort of overfed, immoral and
sub-human being, contrasted with the pure and heroic Aryan.
The Jugendschaft, or
youth movement, of the bund is divided into six sections:
Girls of 8 to 12
years, 12 to 16 and 17 to 21; boys and young men of 10 to 14, 14 to
17, and 18 to 21. By a “decree of the national youth leader” the
youth organization was set...
