Iu this, the second article of liis scries of amazing revelations con¬ cerning the Fascist advance in America, Dr. Birkhead. gives a de¬ tailed account of his conversation with the assistant Of Julius Streicher, tvhose propaganda ma¬ chine, is shown to be vigorously active ift the United States.-yThe Editor.
I was informed that I was tallting to   Paul   Wunii,   assistant   to   Strci¬ eher,' and   that  he   would  be   happy to  give  me  whatever. inEormation  I desired.' A.fter I outlined What I had read    in   the   America;n   press   con¬ cerning Streicher, Wurm smiled anti began Streicher's defense.- "Yes", lie said, "Hr. Streicher used to carry a whip.   He liad to in order to! defend himself   against, Jews   and   Gonimu- iitsts who frequently assaulted him on the streeets.   But jiow", Mr,  Wurm hifornicd njc, "Streicher biily carries a silver .\vliip which his friends have given him as a memento]of the days before Germany was civilized by the Nazis.,   Now  Mr.   Streicher  is  pro¬ tected   by ..the   German,'government" "And  as   for your  question abput ,Mr. Streicher's sex perviersion I .shall inform   yt^u   that, Mr,  .Streicher   is happily: married and has two: growu children,''  Mr.' Wurm  declared  with assurance.   "Mr. Streicher is, well-to- do, it is- true:   But he has made this' money out.of his nfcwspapers and his, other activities.   AU of these charges against our leader in' Francohia, ydii should know, are propaganda invented by Jews and .^ Communists.   'But we   shall   reply, to  these .attacks   on Mr.: Streicher,  with ^ a   truth-telling campaign 'against- his   enemies  who sre Jews and who are being put where "they; belong by Mr. Streicher and his assoidatea:!-':-:;-¦.•:•- ¦¦¦."..,-¦.,.!¦.¦.;.^- ^-ll.',_ ¦;,_.- ¦,¦¦. WKeitf' 1  asked, Mr.   Wurm about the jpart that he was' playing in help¬ ing the governor:of Franconia injiis "important   work,"   he   replied   with the   disclosure   of   Streicher's   world plans aiid purposes which amazed me aild   which   I   have:  since  discovered Streicher is carrying out fanatically. , "You  see,"  Mr.  Wurm. said,  "we iiave   here   an   office., through  which Tire contact those who are interested in. our   work  all   over   the   world." "What," I asked in astonishment, "do. yoK meaii to tell, me that Mr. Strei- ,cher hopes to carry his anti-Semitic program    into   every    part    of    the globe?"
"Oh, yes," Mr. Wurm said matter-of-course mariner. "You seie, we feel that we are getting along perfectly with our fight bii- the Jews here in Germany. But we iiave dis-i covered that the conspiracy of world ¦Jewry is hot -merely against. .Ger-' many hut against every other country, as. well. And,, therefore, to defeat the world conspiracy of .the Jews against Aryan civilization the Jews' must be defeated in every country. Here .in this office we are in com¬ munication, with those eiilightened Gentiles in all countries,who have had their eyes opened to the menace of the/Jews."   " ..
"You mean yoii arc actually writ¬ ing to Jew-baiters in all .lands?" I asked with idded astonishment.
"We are not only writing to them," Mr. Wurm declared,, "but we are also trying to teach them the German technique of dealing With the Jewisli problem."
I pii-otested.; that I thought that Streicher had over-emphasized the ini-
Arthur Levy, 605 Gilbert St., Aleph Godol of the Coluinbus. Chapter bf A.  Z   A, will  be  the official  vi'el-
couiitrics who agree with us aiid who want to do sometliinj; about the 'Jew- problem.' "
To establish the fact that Strcichci- really had a world clearing house for Jqw-baitcrs," Wurm pulled back the curtains which covered his files and proceeded to .prove, to mc that he was in communicatioti; with every known active anti-Semite on this.globe.
He ,displayecl papers find pamphlets in. any: language for which I asked. Yes,,, he was. in touch with all ,the Soiith American: countries-i-countries to which Jews .ire trying to escape from Germany, ,\Vurm said. He pro¬ duced anti-Semiiic papers printed iu Spanish to prove his point. He fol¬ lowed : with, information about the Orient. ".Didn't I - know that there lyere ^ews in the .Orient? And that since the .Jew was essentially an Oriental he "might seek to escape, to his normal environment in large niimV bers ,andthus embarrass and compete with Germany's iiow powerful "allj; Japaii^ "Yes, wti\ even have anti- Semitic ¦ : representatives in Russia, which is now, completely dominated by J^ws," Wurm replied in answer to my question about tlie. Soviet land. "Russia, you ,see>.wi!l be,the head and front of the attempt of. \yorld Jewry tb subdue the Guitile world, jCw Communists, with (lie help, of inter-, national "Jewish bankers, are. working night a:nd day to over-throw the Gen¬ tile governments ami. set iip a Buper- wbrld-Jewish-contrpllcd power.'.
The southeastern European coun¬ tries like /Austria, .Hungary, Rouma¬ nia,. Czechoslovakia and. Yugoslavia arc very :impbrtaiu, fields for Stret¬ cher's, world Jew-baiting program, Wurm, said; To illustrate what was being done in. those' countries be pi*o- duced' soihe.pqs.t^atds prijitcd:!ia-the form of the typical "der Stuermer' caricaturcs\ of -'the jews. The post cards amused Wuhm. He pointed out to me that their; inscriptions were printed in three languages, Roumanian: Bulgarian, and Bohemian, .;.
"We, have many followers of oiir movement, in southeastern - Europb who will help us to put the Jews in, their place," Wurm asslired me. I cad,be¬ lieve nOw that Streicher's world Jew- baiting office in: Nuferiiburg has done its Worfc; yery well .in such countries as Roumania and Austria in view of the, assaults on Jews in those lands. For example, I liave-just now read in the despatches from Europe that anti- Semitic daily newspapers with i swastika on the ti tlie page are spring- ,ing up in every town in RoumEknia. , The anti-Semites' in Ftaircci of Ivhich there are m^ny,:are also coop¬ erating, with Streicher, Wurm said. He said that "der Siiiermer" was be- .ing.:so]d in t.he principal population centers iii France. I was informed that France is now "under the thiimb of the Jews and was therefore a con¬ stant menace to Germany.
"In Palestine, yes, we are there," Wurm declared, with the smile of a sadist. And his face lit up .with sadis¬ tic delight when he said "Ah, there we shall have some fun with -the Jews. There we have Arab . friends who have' caught the true spirit Of our movement., You shall see the trouble that the Jews will have in Palestine.""
And the iiapers report that the Nazis had to spend only $25,000 to create to the delight of,sadistic Nazis, the pi-esent Arab riots against, the Jews.. Mark my' word, when the truth

4 MORE JEWS KILLED BY ARAB TERRORISTS
.JERUSALEM     (WNS)—Palcor Agency)—As  Arab   disturbances en¬ tered 'their nineteenth week  Palestine was  still  in the gi:ip of wide-spread terror  arid  violence.    Shoshana  Laz- liicki, a '17-year-old Jewish girl, suc¬ cumbed to woiihds she' received, near Kfar  Saba on  August 21  when an Arab  gang  of  30 riddled  the auto¬ mobile in which. she and five other's were riding td Tel Aviv.
