him the newspaper clipping concerning the 68 alien boats *hich were
taken ovsr by the United States* HMJJ5H said he had given the clip-
ping to him and that it hd been handed to him by Mrs* SCHDH. He
asked 1MIEN more about SCHUE. He said that this man used to be a
Hiember of the German Stahlhelm, which is a veterans' organization in
Germany and that SCHUH is also a member of the German-American Bund,
New Jersey branch*
WMIEN asked if the Germans have said anything about FEHSE's
arrest. He told him that they had ignored the message, although he
had sent in a report about FEHSE. . 1AAIEN said that that was all
right; that there was no sense in sending Mrs. FEHSE in Hamburg a
night letter about FEHSE's being arrested* Be stated that BROKHOFF

There exists a great tonnage shortage to South and East Africa.
Here lie 50,000 ton freight which cannot be moved* AboTe all are
heavy trucks and steel. The cargo space at the currently running
ships is booked until July. The lines which sail there will ask
the Maritime Commission to place more ships at their disposal as
they bring in material for the American arms1 industry (iEanganose,
Chrome ore, Aspest, Wood and Hides)* The freighter t WestChetac'
has been chartered by the M.C. to the Robin Line. Sails from New-
York on April 29 to Capetown; is supposed to replace the ship,
Eobin Done aster' which was given to the English, 9,900 ton. Tur-
