THE DAILY TIMES DECLARED TODAY IN A COPYRIGHTED ARTICLE THAT AT LEAST 20,000 NAZIS IN AMERICA WERE PREPARING TO SEIZE CONTROL OF THE UNITED STATES. AN INVESTIGATION HAD BEEN CONDUCTED BY TWO TIMES REPORTERS WHO JOINED THE GERMAN-AMERICAN BUND AND ANOTHER ONE WORKING FROM THE OUTSIDE.

“A RELATIVELY SMALL BUT RAPIDLY GROWING ARMY IS PREPARING FOR THE AMERICAN COUNTERPART OF ‘DER TAG,'” THE TIMES SAID. IT DECLARED: “CHIEF TENET OF THE GERMAN AMERICAN BUND IS AN INTENSE HATRED OF THE JEWS AND ALL THINGS JEWISH. OTHER ANTI-SEMITIC ORGANIZATIONS ARE LINING UP WITH THE BUND IN WHAT LEADERS SAY WILL BE A GENERAL FASCIST MERGER.”

“LEADERS OF THE MOVEMENT SAY THEY WILL SEIZE CONTROL OF THE UNITED STATES, BUT NOT BEFORE ‘THE COMMUNIST REVOLUTION STARTS,'” THE ARTICLE ADDED.
