an introduction
to the
mind
and method
I have information coming from a reputable source that Dr.
Douglas was paid by the Nazi Government to write the book.
This source is unwilling to let his name be used, but is ready
to testify and lay his information before any governmental body
which will investigate the devious methods of Nazi agents in
this country.
There are at various universities throughout the country
other professors and instructors quite active in spreading proHitler propaganda. Some of them meet with Nazi agents closely
allied to the espionage machine. I offer only these few as illus
trations
of
Nazi
efforts

in
the
American
universities.
Along with efforts to carry on their work in the universities,
Nazi agents tried to get a foothold in the political life of the
country by finding a few Republicans who were willing to use
anti-democratic propaganda in their efforts to defeat Roosevelt
during the Presidential campaign. At no time in American his
tory did secret agents of a foreign power so brazenly attempt
American people. Nor
any time in American history did agents of a foreign govern
ment find such willing cooperation from unscrupulous American
to interfere in the internal affairs of the
at
politicians.

confused with Prof. Paul H. Douglas of the University cChicago, a highly reputable scholar and a stanch defender of democracy.
