...into a dangerous situation that resulted in many fatalities and spread the disease all over the country-a situation over which the health and medical authorities of the city and the State of Illinois have since engaged in an undignified quarrel, everybody frantically disclaiming responsibility. The suppression of any mention of the epidemic was abetted by the daily press of the country at large and by the news-gathering agencies. The right of the people to a free press, of which we have heard so much of late, was denied, and the seeds of a deadly disease were sown among...
Among the books we can cite in proof of Hitler's role of servant to German capitalism, we should like to mention the following: "Germany Puts the Clock Back," (N.Y. 1933) by Edgar Ansel Mowrer, fifteen years the Berlin correspondent of the Chicago Daily News; Konrad Heiden: "Geschichte des Nationalismus," Berlin 1932; Paul Kosck: "Modern Germany," (Chicago 1933) in the University of Chicago Training of Citizens series; "Nazifuhrer sehen dich an," (Paris, 1934); the first and second "Brown Books," the second as yet not translated; and Adolf Hitler: "Mein Kampf," (38th printing, Munich, 1933) especially pages...

At this point, one thing seems certain. The effect that the mention of this alphabetical masterpiece would have on the 12 doctors, lawyers, beggars and thieves that usually form the backbone of a representative American jury, would be to confuse them so completely that the already shaky wheels of justice would groan under the strain...
