...potent Nazi weapon comes in cans: propaganda films for the motion-picture screens of South America. So far the Nazis have had no smash hits in their movie Kampf. They have limited their efforts mainly to trying to keep from impressionable Latin Americans such pictures as anti-German Nurse Edith Cavell, antimilitarist All Quiet on the Western Front. Last week the German defense changed to offense. From Buenos Aires came reports that Agfa Argentina* had taken over the Argentine S. I. D. E. company, was leasing new studios, preparing to produce and distribute films in Latin America...
...Sweden has to keep an eye on her Nazis. In 1933 political uniforms were banned, owners of firearms ordered to register. Swedes became sufficiently conscious of the Nazi penetration to organize a private boycott of German goods. In 1935 anti-German Foreign Minister Rickard Sandler got an act passed to end foreign control, through dummy corporations, of Swedish industries. It was aimed at Krupp's one-third ownership of the Bofors works. (Just before the act went through, Krupp sold out to a Swedish group headed by Tycoon Axel Wenner-Gren.) Junkers had to give up a manufacturing affiliate...
...last few weeks, the Gallup Poll has shown that anti-German feeling has been waning. There have been less people who have felt that America should or would eventually go to war.

Comic Tommy Handley twitted censorship with references to the Office of Twerps, the Ministry of Irritation, was a scream lampooning Hitler, whose mustache he once compared to a splash from a passing taxi. Most telling BBC Hitler-baiter : Band Waggon's little Arthur Askey, cooking up ingenious schemes for pestering a certain Mr. Nasty. Sample: Plotting to train 5,000 parrots to fly over old Nasty's House...
...argued that most of these acts were a means of getting the arms embargo passed in jig-time, but nevertheless they still rouse suspicion that the Administration is not neutral. In striving for its immediate objective, repeal, it may well have raised a Frankenstein of anti-German feeling that will destroy its efforts to keep us out of war. The time has come for a sharp change of front. If the old accusation, "Pro-German!" is heard, it will be well to remember that Americans and Germans alike will have a medal ready for the man who can keep...
