The implications in the story
are obvious. This community,
with its common holidays, its
celebrations, weddings, funer-
als, is nevertheless unable to
submit to discipline. Its de-
structive forces are at work.
Before they had reached their
destination the communists de-
mand a dictatorship of the pro-
letariat, the extremely Ortho-
dox insist upon a religious gov-
ernment, the poor fight the
rich—only a handful of ideal-
ists realizes the full importance
of the tragic march to an un-
known destination. At the head
of this group is Nieman, the
leader of the exiles, who is
misunderstood and much
abused, but who is everywhere,
ready to help and advise, never
resting where he can be of
service.
in this country was through the
work done during the past session
of Congress by Representative
Dickstein, chairman of the Com-
mittee on Immigration and Natur-
alization. As a result of a prelim-
inary investigation of Nazi and
other subversive propaganda IIC•
tviities in this country initiated by
Representative Dickstein, a reso-
lution was introduced by him call-
ing for a nation-wide Congressional
investigation along the same lines.
After a bitter struggles the Dick-
stein resolution passed and the in-
vestigation is now under way.
Already startling revelations
have been made. These include
findings that Nazi propaganda ac-
tivities were being financed in this
country by the German govern-
ment. Representative John W. Mc-
Cormack of Boston, Mass., is chair-
man of the investigating committee
and Representative Dickstein in
vice-chairman. It is expected that
legislation designed to correct some
of the evils uncovered by the com-
mittee will be introduced during
. the next session of Congress. As
chairman of the Committee on Im-
migration and Naturalization, Rep-
resentative Dickstein has done
much to humanize immigration
laws, especially through legisla-
tion handled by his committee, dur-
ling the last session.
During the past year Represen-
tative Sirovich has been pulling
hard for passage of his bill which
was designed to strengthen the ex-
isting pure food and drug laws.
1The New York doctor has made
much progress in calling the coun-
try's attention to the need for more
[ stringent losislation governing
foods and drugs. When the next
session of Congress meets, he is
expected to re-introduce his bill
