Professor Lloyd E. Dewey, of the banking and finance department at New York University, who addressed two meetings of the German-American Independent Voters League in Yorkville, yesterday told the Jewish Daily Bulletin he was not aware that Louis Zahne, guiding light of the League, is also a leader in the Friends of New Germany.
When informed of Zahne’s activities in the Friends of New Germany. Professor Dewey declared that he would never lecture before the Independent Voters League again. His themes in his two appearances at Yorkville were “The Value of the Constitution,” and the “Value and Cost of a College Education.”
Although the educator is of German descent, he told the Bulletin reporter that “I feel the same way about this business as you do.”
Professor Dewey was approached by a former student some time ago with a request that he address the League. After the first talk Zahne sent the savant a letter inviting him to come again. In neither of the invitations was the true purpose of the League disclosed, Dr. Dewey charged.
