German Exhibit in N. Y. Speeds RE -Nazificatio
. n
By PHINEAS J. BIRON
THE
GERMAN Industrial Fair in New York under
auspices of the American Military Government
provided official evidence of Gen. Clay's RE-Nazi-
fication policy.
The daily press tried to present the fair as goodwill
promotion for friendly relations between the peoples
of Germany and the United States. And for this rea-
son it held back information about
the Nazi background of a large por-
tion of the personnel and the ex-
hibitors.
For instance, the press did not make
a point of telling its readers that
our Military Government in Ger-
many had selected Peter Pixis, Hit-
ler's chief organizer of Nazi propa-
ganda fairs abroad, for the job in
America. Pixis' specialty during the
war consisted in setting up propa-
ganda exhibits in enemy countries,
slated fur conquest.'
At the present time arrangements are being made
' to
take the fair to Milwaukee, Chicago, Pittsburgh and
Buffalo.
Robert Bradford, a member of the staff of the Non-
Secterian Anti-Nazi League, the organization which
exposed the Nazi underlining of the fair, commented
as follows: "The delegates to the recent Cultural and
Scientific Conference for World Peace were not al-
lowed to stay long or to leave New York, but it seems
that the 300-oda German businessmen, many of them
well known Nazis, may travel about the United States
looking for orders." It is indeed strange.

plan. It is no longer referred to as the Bernadotte
plan of course, nor is it exclusively pushed by Great
Britain.

Having gained this vital political beachhead, Brita:n
is determined to push through the entire Bernadotte

the Jewish State. As a matter of fact, Bevin's renewed
