Nazis. Employing all the tricks of propaganda and intrigue, Germany has set up a machine that functions like a well-oiled Messerschmitt plane. The Nazi Führer is Arthur Dietrich, brother of Dr. Goebbels' right-hand man and press chief. Officially listed as Press Attaché to the German Legation, he employs a large staff of writers, translators and agents, operates his own printing plant, subsidizes Mexican papers, sponsors magazines such as the blatantly pro-Nazi Timón, and finances local Nazi organizations such as the Vanguardia Nacional. A number of smooth young Nazis arrived from the U. S. and Latin America to augment his staff; secret radio stations operated by his experts blot out American broadcasts and fill the ether with Nazi propaganda; reports of huge caches of firearms smuggled from Germany are deliberately circulated by his agents. Independent of support from Germany, he finances his organization by forced contributions from Mexico's 6,500 Germans and by assessing German firms a percentage of their monthly revenue.
