Mr. Wissenbach explained
the reason for the SA and SS

delighted with the opportuni
ty to use force and the glory
of wearing a uniform.
In conclusion, Mr. Wissen
bach said, "Being a minister,
I would like to point out the
moral of what I have told
you. Are we, as American
citizens, doing all we can to
make democracy function as
it should? Do we write to
our senators and representa
tives our desires in current
legislation? Are we willing
to sacrifice for peace as we
are for war? If we fail in
these steps, we can-only go
down in defeat. It is up to
the educated groups to use
Influence as leaders."
