Hitler knows that his true allies are demagogues who foster anti-foreignism and anti-Semitism, Senator Alexander Wiley, of Wisconsin stated today in a discussion of the conscription bill before the Senate.

The Senator quoted an article by an American woman writer, who is now living in France, and told the Senate: “I think that Hitler is wrong in believing that racial feuds and class warfare can combat American good judgment and sense of fair play.”

He warned, however, against fifth column activities and stated: “We cannot disregard the fact that Communism, Fascism and Nazism are seeping into America.”
