The cr y ing need of the hour as demonstrated by the evi­dence before the Oongressi'>nal Committee and fortified by recent discoveries , is not f or crineing apologies f or exercising the r ight of free speech by w~y of reprisnl for outrages upon civili~at ion stop The need is for drast i c legislat ion to end the t r eason ond t rlacnery by which we are surrounded .

GOD SAVE THE GERMAN PEOPLE!

NON-SECTAR!AN ANTI-NAZI LEAGUE To CHAMP ION HUMAN RIGHTS, Inc.

20 West 47th Street, New York, N.Y.

Please Pa88 This On!

I N a wireless to the New Yori. Times date~ Berl~n, March 8, t937, it was stated that Der A~tgn#, olliaal publication of the German Government's Department of

Propog.nda and Enlightenment, characterited one of Amer­ica's greatest and most beloved men, Benjamin Franklin, ~n anti-semite. This news item of manulactur<d hate was diS· tributed to all German newspapers. The present German Government at considerable expense maintains a Depart· ment of Propaganda and Enlightenment. Propaganda Y u I of the most vile and malic.ious nature-Enlightenment No I The Gorman people arc being mentally strangled, and the news they are allowed to read is poisoned by prejudice to such a degree that the Germans who lived in the Middle Ages actually enjoyed more Enlightenment. In many cases news iwm, encouraged and created by the German Prop•· ganda Department, have been ao obscene in c.haracter that newspapers in this councry have declared that the State Department at WashingtOn considered them unfit to be pub­lished in the American press.

Expert• on American history emphatically maintain that the statements that Franklin was on anti-semite, are labrica· tiona without the slightest foundation. Other historians call it a "bare faced forgery." History proves that Franklin was ( riendly and sympathetic towards the J ewo, and when they desired to erect a synagogue in Philadelphia, he not only signed the petition of appeal for fl~nds, but personally made a contribution. \Vould an anti-•emite have done that? It is interesting to know that when Franklin was in Paris in q8t, Major DavidS. Frank, a Jew, was one of his con· fidential aides. W ould an anti-semite h~ve done that?

We will now furnish the Nuis with a little true e.nlight· enment, historically corr«t, and not poiaoned by false prop•· ganda. On the authority of Prof. Charles A. Beard, one of America's foremost historians, Benjamin Franklin did have

grave concern regarding one racial group, the inftux of Germans to America. And in 1753 he wrou: "Not being used to liberty they know not how to make modest us< of it." And although this wu his conviction, Franklin-gr<at as his inftuence was-did not propose to set up a bar aa-ainuth<m, berause his love of tolerance was greater than his fears in mis regard.

He believed mat the inspiration of Democracy would appeal so strongly to the German immigrant1, that they would become desirable citizens. And these Germans, both Christians and Jews, justified Franklin's faith in liberty and became in a great majority of cues faithful to the tr,aditions of the Republic, in which they found a far better home from whence they came.

It is a great pity that millions of Germans at the present time cannot escape the tyranny of the Nazis and find new homes in countries where there is a government "of the people, by the people and for the peopl<." At times the road seems long and hard. But Time marches on, ever and ever towards one goal-Emancipation of Mankind from Tyranny. No despotism in the world's history hu ever survived 1 This must be the consolation and the hope of the German people I

In Chalmer's General Biographical Dictionary (London­r8r4), Franklin is described as follows: "l-Ie e>Chibits no false zeal, modestly seeks after truth, and if he fa ils tO find it has no desire to impose counterfeits in its stead.~~

W hat a wonderful example lor the Nnis to fQilow I But can the leopard change his spo11? I

Franklin practised many virtues, among which were Truth, Justice and Moderation. But instead of practising Truth, the Nnis practist falsehood; instead of justice they practise tyranny, and instead of Moderation they make fanaticism their religion. God save the German people, they deserve a better late than Hidcrism I

UEUO FOR SEO. ROOSEVELT: '

I asked the State Dept .

to advise whether the President

should see Dr. Goerdeler , former

~ayor of Leipzig, in accordance X

with Amb. Dodd's suggestion.

Wr. Summerlin of the State

Dept. has looked into it and

says, "Yes, but i t is suggested

without publ icity. 11

Amb. Dodd points out in his

letter that Dr. o. resigned as

Uayor in protest of t he Nazi de­

struct ion of the monument to

Kendelsohn, but escaped punishment

because of his popularity .
