Report of the Dies Committee
"Who and what is in a position to overthrow an invisible
force And this is precisely what our force is. Gentile masonry,
blindly serves as a screen for us and our objects, but the
plan of action of our force, even its very abiding-place, remains
for the whole people an unknown mystery."From Protocol 4.
The House of Representatives appointed a committee to
investigate "Un-American activities," known as the Dies Committee.
This committee is composed of the following members,
viz:
Martin Dies, Chairman, (Texas) ;
Joe Starnes (Alabama) ;
John J. Dempsey (New Mexico) ;
Jerry Voorhis (California) ;
Jas. E. Casey (Massachusetts) ;
N. M. Mason (Illinois) ; and
J. Parnell Thomas (New Jersey).
The first four named are Democrats and the latter three
Republicans, but the committee nevertheless filed a unanimous
report.
The committee started out by investigating Nazi activities.
It appears from their report that there is a "German American
Bund" that has some connection with the German government.
It states that Fritz Kuhn places the membership at 20,000 to
25,000, but that the Department of Justice estimated it at 6500
in 1937. There is also an "American Italian Black Shirt Legion,"
about 10,000 strong. While the committee finds that the German
Bund "must be classified as an agent of a foreign government"
there was no evidence or finding to the effect that it is seeking
the overthrow of our government. On the other hand, the purpose
of the German Bund appears to be to develop loyalty to
both their fatherland and their adopted country.
So long as the committee confined its investigation to Nazi
activities everything was fine and lovely, but when it turned to
the Communist what a howl went up from the Jewish press and
leaders—led by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harold Ickes, and Madam
Perkins. In the beginning it was,
"O noble judge! O excellent young man!
O wise and upright judge!
How much more elder art thou than thy looks!
"Ay, his breast:
So says the bond:—doth it not, noble judge—
'Nearest his heart:' those are the very words."
