NAZIS PLAN TO RALLY GERMANS LIVING ABROAD

The Associated Press. KOENIGSBERG, East Prussia, June 12.—Plans to regale Germans living in the Western Hemisphere with beer and wurst—and Nazi propaganda—at a great homecoming were formulated today at the closing sessions of the Association for Germans Abroad. If the project materializes, German Americans, several million of whom live in the Americas, especially in the United States, Canada, Brazil and Chile, will be invited to attend next year's convention of the association. THE meeting would be held at Bremen or some other convenient port. Such an occasion would enable Nazidom to present its case to its friends from overseas in the same manner it has been outlining during the last week its views on the Memel, Pomorze, Danzig and Lithuanian questions to countrymen who can be relied upon to carry the message back home.
