Sheldon of Boston, chairman of the board of directors of the Anti-Nazi League, sent to General Robert E. Wood, national chairman of the “America First” Committee, the league accused the committee, through its New York chapter, of “using the ‘Hitler line’ to spread discord in Americanranks.” The wire follows:“Are you in accord with the sentiments expressed in the editorial entitled ‘Peace’ appearing in the July 12 issue of the Bulletin published by the New York chapter of the America First Committee? In this editorial, which asks for a negotiated peace, this passage occurs: ‘If then, Hitler were to agree to restore the independence of Norway, Denmark, Holland, France, even Poland, w'hile these people in America (the ‘foreign groups’) might be appeased, there w-ould still be a powerful group— the most powerful of all—the refugee Germans and their fellow racial and religious brethren, who would protest. . . .’ Don’t you feel that this libel against the Jews (who happen, incidentally, not to be united in any manner for or against any peace proposals) and other loyal Americans, follows the ‘Hitler line’ in order to arouse discord in American ranks?“We feel that your committee has indulged in open Nazi propaganda as the first shot in a campaign to propagandize for Hitler’s forthcoming peace proposals. While the. America First Committee is of course entitled to propagandize for or against such a ‘peace,’ it can hardly claim to be ‘American’ when it uses the Hitler type of propaganda which tries to convince the public that all opposition is ‘Jewish’ or is motivated by other than patriotic American motives. This line constantly recurs in the propaganda emanating from Nazi sources. Is it only a coincidence that it has cropped up again now in an America First editorial? *'“John T. Flynn, New York chairman of your committee, told us on the phone today that he backed up the editorial in question and the sentiments expressed therein. Do you, too, stand ready to use the Nazi-inspired ‘Jewish smear’ upon all Americans who do not trust in the sincerity of Hitler’s peace proposals ?»»
