He Was Offered $3,000,000 To Organize Army For March On Washington Washington, D. C. (WNS) Presenting the first appraisal of Nazism by an official government agency, the National Planning Board, whose chairman is Fred eric A. Delano, uncle of President Roosevelt, has made public a re port on conditions in Germany, in which Hitlerism is described as a “hysterical excess.” While the members of the Board assume no responsibility for the report, they hint at their agreement with it. The report .incorporated in the findings of the Board’s report as the basis for a recommenda tion that the government create a permanent national planning board, was prepared by Lewis L. Lorwin, of the Brookings Insti tute and A. F. Hinrich, of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It de clares that economic considera tions rather than racial hatred has been at the root of Jewish persecutions in Germany and that “in the methods of promot ing class changes there have been hysterical excesses. The atmos phere suggests less the presence of a positive ideal, that might seem to warrant the excesses, than it does the presence of a social psychosis, arising as compensa tion for weakness and fear—un derstandable, but unlovely.”
