This article focuses on the German Industrial Fair to be held in Rockefeller Center in New York from April 9-24, 1949. Some 530 firms are scheduled to participate in this exposition, which is sponsored by the American Military Government in Germany. The products of between forty and fifty of the largest bear the swastika trademark. Backers of the exposition have started a secret drive for the support of German American organizations whose ties to the Fatherland are closer than to America. At a carefully guarded meeting at the headquarters of the New York Liederkranz on March 28 these organizations agreed to mobilize 20,000 members to attend the exhibition in Rockefeller Center as "a duty to the Fatherland."
