A free fight, which had to be stopped by the police being called in, occurred to-day at a Hitlerist meeting held in Detroit.

The meeting was called by the local Hitlerist branch to explain the aims of the German National Socialist Party to an audience including a large number of non-Hitlerists.

Mr. Luedecke, the leader of the American Hitlerists, was reading out his programme, one paragraph being the purification of the German race by purging it of Jews and Catholics, when he was interrupted by some of the audience, and a disturbance followed which ended in a free fight.

Another Hitlerist branch was organised last night in Chicago, at a meeting attended by 200 young Germans. The meeting was addressed by Theodore Gissibel, of the New York Branch, the organiser of the American Hitlerist Party, who delivered a speech attacking Jews, and declaring that Germany would be cleared of Jewish domination when the Hitlerists take over the Government.
