EXCLUSIVE! Reader Letters
Of Hitler Agents In U. S.
By JOHN L. SPIVAK
NEW YORK--The Dies Congressional Committee, which is supposed
to investigate un-American activities, has deliberately suppressed
documentary evidence of Nazi propaganda in this country.
Letters from Nazi propaganda headquarters in Berlin and Stutt-
gart, Germany, to agents in the United States and from one agent to
another in this country which discuss the shipment of propaganda,
including the notorious Primer for school children, are in the posses-
sion of the Committee, but have been locked up in their files and kept
secret.
The letters in the Committee's possession disclose propaganda
shipments from Germany by way of the Nazi diplomatic service, and
a close tie-up with Fritz Kuhn, head of the German American Bund.
This tie-up, generally known now, has continued to grow upon
this country like a cancer since Hitler first got into power, and kept
on growing the moment the X-ray light of exposure was turned off.
The Congressional Committee turned this light off deliberately

Solons Vote On Zion Policy
BY WILLIAM ZUKERMAN
Transcript Special Writer
LONDON--Europe has heaved a
sigh of relief. The much dreaded
world war whose hot breath one
emfld almost feel on one's back a
few days ago, has been averted.
Peace by negotiation instead of
forcc has been obtained.
The terrible tension nnder which
Europe lived during the last few
weeks of tile Czechoslovakian crisis
hqs been relieved.
People have ceased to dig trench-
es, fit gas nmsks, evacuate children,
enlist for Air Raid Precaution ser-
vice, pore over newspapers and hang
over the radio.
Only those who lived through the
terrible anxiety and ever-growing
fear of the last few weeks will under-
stand the great feeling of relief
which has swept over European peo-
ple like a tm'rential stream over-
flowing its banks, and has made them
forget reason and even good taste in
the expression of their emotimm.
But gradually this feeling of re-
lief is subsiding, and some people
at least, are beginning to look at the
last events without the overmaster-
ing emotions of fear and anxiety
which obscured reason and even
ordinary comnlon Sense.
In many quarters questions are
being asked aml doubts are being
raised about the greatness of the
famous negotiated peace of Munich.
What sort of peace is it? What is
the price which has been paid for
it? How long will it last?
And what will it bring in its wake?
After tile first moments of'(lrunkml-
hess which Mr. Chamber[ain's visit
to Munich Ires brought, now comes
the sobering up, and it is a l)ainful
sol)ering indeed.
The time for a complete summiug
up of the events has, of course, not
yet come. This will prob.tbly be
the task of future historians.
The contemporary observer can
only record that the first outburst
of joy over the Munich 'peace' has
been greatly, if not hysterically,
exaggerated.
The feeling among liberal-minded
people everywhere now is one like
that of tile "morning after" a great
debauch: a splitting headache and
a bad taste in the mouth.
New fears are rising of anxieties
and terrors even greater than the
allegedly averted world war. Eu-
rope, at least liberal Europe, is not
at all at ease about the outcome of
