For the benefit of those who still feel that what the l^^azis do with the money of German Jews is nobody else's business we want to relay the report cur¬ rent in British financial circles— that securities taken frpm Jews when that fine levy/^as collect¬ ed recently are no^y being dump¬ ed on leading foreign markets . . . While it may be true that Gory Goering's air fleet isn't quite as hot as he thinks It is, due to the use of ersatz here and there In the manufacture of planes, he's no doubt figuring that his air armada will last long enough to make France sign on the dotted line . . . Whereupon tlie planes France probably will liave   bought   from   American
' manufacturers will be turned over to Naziland by way of ap¬ peasement . . . It's verboten in Hitlerland to listen to the short¬ wave broadcasts sent there by. Uncle Sam or to the special Ger¬ man-language broadcasts of a secret British labor station, but volumes of fan mail prove that many thousands ot Germans do . listen in . . . "In the beginning was the word" is the caption under a picture of Hitler address- sing a small group which Doro¬ thy Dunbar Bromley, American columnist, saw in a Berlin shop- window.
