Local Stahlhelm members are called upon to scotch rumors that this organization is to be disbanded, in a proclamation published by the Milwaukee Stahlhelm officials in the Deutsche Zeitung, German daily.
The proclamation contains “a notice to members of a copy of a communication received from Germany to all Stahlhelm comrades in foreign countries.”
“Recently the foreign press has repeatedly carried news that dissolution of the Stahlhelm is only a question of a short time,” the statement reads.
“It is to be said with reference thereto that there is no thought of dissolution of the Stahlhelm. To the contrary, Der Fuehrer (Hitler) has clearly expressed himself to our comrade leader (Seldte) in a lengthy discussion that he is not willing to dissolve the bund of front soldiers (Stahlhelm).
“It is the duty of each comrade in foreign countries to take a position against rumors of dissolution which come from elements harboring ill will against us.”
