GERMAN DRIVE
AGAINST FOES
IS SHARPENED
Organization Of War
Veterans Will Be
Disbanded; Foreign
Newsmen Hit
BERLIN. Aug 5. (JPh-An avowal
by Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels to
strike “into the dust’* all “state
enemies" sharpened Monday the
nasi drive on all who have stood
out against party discipline.
The minister of propaganda, ad
dressing a demonstration at Essen
Sunday, fired a broadside partic
ularly against the Btahlheim (steel
helmet) veterans organization, but
turned also on Jews and “political
Catholicism "
Veterans See End*
Grave apprehension prevailed in
steel helmet circles, especially after
it became known that not only had
Its organ “Der Stahlheim”. been
suspended indefinitely, but that
former Field Marshal August von
llackensen. an honorary member
since its foundation, had resigned
Goebbels blunt assertion that
“there is no organization beside the
nasi party entitled to own political
life" In the third reich was seen
by many sources as an omen that
the end of the veterans union of
some 700,000 members may be close
at hand.
Threatening to wipe out all that
is not nazi in Germany, Qoebbels
said:
“We do not tolerate any kind of
opposition and will handle saboteurs
of the reich Just as we finished
saboteurs of the left."
Persistent references to the Jew
ish question indicated that, as Min
ister of Interior Wilhelm Frick put
it. antl-semitic points would be
“legally got rid of.”
“We have looked on with the
patience of Job for two years, but
we will stand it no longer,” said
Goebbels. “In the future, no mix
ed Jewish and Aryan marriages will
be tolerated.”
Simultaneously, the official organ
of nazi lawyers, the Deutsche Jus
tir advocated a segregating of
Jews in Ghettos.
Assails Newsmen
Goebbels' criticism also fell on
“political Catholicism”, with his as
sertion that a recent decree by Max
Amann, president of the reich press
chamber, banning church and pro
fessional newspapers, will be car
ried out strictly against religious
organs.
“We no longer tolerate any con
fessional newspapers,” Goebbels de
clared.
Criticism of the foreign press for
its reporting of antl-semitic demon
strations was renewed with Goeb
bels' declaration, "we rule in Ger
many. not foreign Journalists.”
The propaganda minister charg
ed that newspapers abroad were
“trying to make out a crisis in Ger
many when there is nothing but a
a house cleaning going on.”

Japanese Insulted By
***** ******
Caricature of Emperor
***** ******
In American Magazine
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. (VP)— The
resentment in Japan about a cari
cature in an American magazine of
Emperor Hlrohito engaged the earn,
est attention of the officials of two
nations Monday.
His vacation Interrupted, Hirosi
Salto, Japanese ambassador, hurried
here from Connecticut to prepare a
report for his home office and to
receive expected instructions from
Tokyo.
State department officials indi
cated a belief that no formal pro
test would be filed because of the
cartoon in the magazine, Vanity
Pair. In some other quarters it
was believed Salto probably would
take up the issue directly with the
magazine’s editors.
One state department spokesman
said Japanese officials realized that
the American government had no
control over the press, but cable
dispatches said Japanese newspapers
criticized their embssy here for al
leged failure to see that "such in
dignities*’ were not published.
The dispatches also reported that
the Japanese home and foreign of
fice officials characterized the car
icature as "terrible.** It showed the
emperor pulling a Jinrlklsha in
which reposed the Nobel peace prise.
The cartoon already has been in
formally brought to the attention
of the st<) 3 department by Counsel -
of Yoshizawa.
One state department aide said the
"affair results from a difference
in viewpoint. Here we think no
thing of lampooning high officials,
including the president, but the
Japanese consider their emperor sa.
cred.” The magazine has been
banned in that country.

In a new blast at the national ad>
ministration. Governor Eugene Tal
madge said Monday he would sup
port President Roosevelt for reelec
tion in 1936 if he quit “his course
of communism’* and let American
industry and agriculture out of the
“hospital.*’
The Georgia governor, whose re
cent activities have been Interpret
ed as meaning he might make a bid
for the presidency himself, added
that unless the present policies in
Washington are changed he will
make a “coast to coast'' fight to
“put Americans there who will stand
by the constitution and by the prin
ciples of Jeffersonian demoracy.”
It’s court week In Dawson coun
ty, and Talmadge spoke here to
town and county officials and a
group of farmers during the noon
recess of the court.
8corinr the national administra
tion, Talmadge said American in
dustry “is making some strides in
spite of the new deal.*’
“It reminds me of a horse race
where a horse is being held in with
the bridle and bit,’’ he continued
“What would happen in Saratoga
and Louisville if the jockey were
continually pulling up his horse
with the bridle and bit?
“Whole crowds would rise up and
shout ‘give him the reins'.’*
“If you will take jockies like
Tugwell. Hopkins. Wallace. Mor-1
decal. Ezekiel. Morgenthau and other
names I cannot spell and cannot
pronounce, out of the saddle, you
will see the American horse repre
senting business and work come to
the front.
“As long as President Roosevelt
continues his course of communism
he Is going to continue to depress
the industry of this country. As
long as he continues to listen to the
brain trusters he is going to shrivel
the souls of the people who want to
work. As long as he continues his
course of thinking that every avail
able article should be taxed to the
limit he is going to encourage dis
traction and pilfering from coast to
coast.
“The present policies at Wash
ington are not American and if they
are continued for four more years,
they will wreck this union.**
The Georgia governor challeng
ed Senators Walter P. George and
Richard B. Russell, Jr., from this
state, to “make an honest effort to
repeal the AAA and processing
taxes’’ and in exchange he would
support them politically for any of
fice they might seek.

EXPEL ‘REDS’
William Green Declares
Communists Have No
Place In U .S. Labor
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Au*. 5.
(AV-William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, here
Monday to preside at a meeting of
the federation’s executive council,
predicted a militant drive to expel
from the organization communlste
“who are under orders from Mos
cow.”
“When It is clearly proven that
a member of one of our unions is
a red carrying out Moscow's or
ders.” he said, "the union will be
called upon to expel him.”
The federation chief charged
communists were undermining con
fidence in the trade union move
ment. fomenting strife and urging
and inspiring violence.
“The American delegation report
ed to the communist congress in
Moscow last week that there now
were 30,000 reds in this country
Green said.
“While that number in compari
son with the membership of the
A. F. of L. Is inconsequential, nev
er-the-less they are distributed
among our trade unions and each
is assigned a special task.”
Green said the council would
consider how to deal with the com
munist problem in general, and
particularly with the recent amal
gamation of avowedly communistic
organizations and the International
fur workers.

CONSTIPATION
A Short Speech
By Frederic J. Haskin
As director of tbe largest newspaper infor
mation bureau in tbe world, I have been del
uged with questions about tbe Government.
What was being done about tbe depression?
About tax reduction? About tbe crime wave?
Lately tbe questions have been directed
largely to tbe activities of the New Deal.
How can I get a job? Wbat it tbe first
of tbe Alphabet Bureaus? How many Alpha
bets are there?
For tbe most part, tbe public wanted in
formation about the innumerable governmen
tal activities. People were bewildered, dazed,
at a loss to know what was going on. and how
it affected them.
This seemed to call for a book by some one
wbo bad the facilities to compile tbe vast
amount of data required.
Thus my new book, Tbe American Gov
ernment Today, was born.
I believe it to be a worthy successor to my
earlier books on tbe Government. It is up to
date. It covers every important Federal activ
ity. It does not espouse a cause or oppose
a policy. It is a straight story of facts.
It is my belief that Tbe American Govern
ment Today is tbe most valuable ^ork I have
ever offered tbe public. Your newspaper
is helping me by calling your attention to it,
and co-operating in its distribution.
To bring tbe book within the reach of
every one. its price is $ 1 tbe copy, postage pre
paid, to any address in tbe United States—
$1.25 to any foreign address.
You really need this book to keep and refef
to. If yon order your copy now I will ba
glad to sign my name in it,
I Tbank You!
