"And I know that if I responded by the petitions of my in Philadelphia and vicinity," he in an address here, "I would be defeated by just about a million votes, and then my hosts of enemies would point their fingers at me and say: 'Ah! We told you you would get licked.'"
He was to speak on "Blowing the Lid Off Crime," but said he had decided this was no time to "blow the lid off anything. What we need now is to sit tight," he added.
"First," he said, "I want to tell my friends here about myself, and why I'm here. I am no reformer. I want you all to understand that I am just running a racket. It is my own racket and belongs to no one else. I am out for the money."

The commander said General Butler informed him of the request to him less than two months ago. Butler told Van Zandt, the commander said, that Van Zandt had been selected to be one of the leaders of the organization, and that he would be approached by envoys at Louisville, Ky., during the V.

[missing opening]
...[anti-]Semitic publication, which first appeared last week. Healey, who has been a frequent speaker at meetings of the Friends, [Friends of New Germany] has been a flagrant advocate of violence against what he terms the "Jewish peril."
Several other notorious Nazi agitators will be called to testify next week, Dickstein said last night.
Working on evidence submitted to it by the Jewish Daily Bulletin, the committee also expects to summon before it an active “anti-Communist” who has been distributing the forged “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” and other anti-Semitic literature. Indication that this person is being financed by socially and financially important interests will be probed in an effort to establish a new link between Wall Street and an organized campaign to spread prejudice in the United States.
As Dickstein prepared material for further executive hearings of his committee he also was awaiting the decision of Supreme Court Justice Edward J. McGoldrick on an appeal for a State charter by the Friends of New Germany. It appeared likely yesterday that a ruling on this question will be handed down by the middle of this week.
Interest in a purported Fascist plot, revealed last week by Gen. Smedley D. Butler, continued unabated yesterday, when it was learned that the movements of Robert Sterling Clark and his attorney, Albert G. Christmas, both now in Europe, are being watched. The committee already has announced it will ask both men to explain financial transactions between Clark, who according to Butler, was represented as being willing to finance a Fascist coup here, and Gerald B. MacGuire, bond salesman and supposed go-between in the scheme.
Charges that CCC camps were to be used as focal points for dissemination of Fascist propaganda are being investigated by Department of Justice agents, it was also learned yesterday.
Dickstein expressed the opinion that MacGuire "is shielding somebody, I believe; probably a lot of people."
"But we're determined to investigate all the principals in this thing," he said, “and I'm convinced important results will follow."

Clandestine movements are difficult for a historian to trace, especially when they are as complex and elusive as anti-fascism in Italy. With infinite patience, sifting innumerable memoirs and monographs, Charles F. Delzell, Professor of History at Vanderbilt, has pieced together the story of Mussolini's enemies and tried to assess their historical importance.
