The New York Herald-Tribune reports today that several of the defendants in the abortive mass sedition trial are busily spreading anti-Jewish propaganda through a variety of printed and mimeographed "newspapers."

The Tribune says that Mrs. Elizabeth Dilling – author of the "Red Network" an alleged list of Communists which included high ranking officials and even Mrs. Roosevelt – is putting out a monthly publication, a recent issue of which describes President Roosevelt and Premier Stalin as "stooges of Jewry," and charges that efforts to punish collaborationists in Europe are Jewish-inspired.

Charles Be Hudson of Omaha, the paper disclease, issues a thrice-monthly mimeographed publication, called "America in Danger," which devotes most of its articles to anti-Semitism. The current issue, commenting on the Jewish Brigade, says it will never be used to fight Germany, but will be used in the Near East against the United States and Britain in a war by Russia against the "white race."

Another active "nationalist," who, the Tribune says, appears to be well financed, is Gerald L. K. Smith, whose monthly "The Cross and the Flag" attacks all our allies and all proposals for international collaboration. Other "nationalist" publishers listed in the story are Court Asher, of Muncie, Ind., who publishes the "X-Ray" which features attacks against Justice Frankfurter and "Jew bureaucrats of the New Deal; "William Kulgreen of Atascadero, Calif., and Leon de Aryan of San Dicgo, Calif.
