Both ant and bee must yield place to Nazi propagandists
as emblems of indomitable diligence. Their assiduity, even in our own midst is, if not ohne Hast certainly ohne Rast. Here, for example, is a list of fixtures for the present month in London and elsewhere issued by the Deutsche Arbeitsfront (German Labour Front), British Section. The Nazi Party has its own list, as follows :
APRIL MEETINGS
N.S.D.A.P. Meetings.
April 6. 8.0o p.m.—Queen's Restaurant. London Group—
North East.
April 7. 8.0o p.m.—Porchester Hall. London Group Central. April 7. 8.0o p.m.—The Boot, Baldock, Hitchin. Hitchin branch. April 8. 8.00 p.m. 46 Eaton Rise, W.5. London Group— West. Anniversary celebration.
April 20. 8.00 p.m.—Queen's Restaurant. London Group— North East. FtIhrer's birthday.
April 21. 8.15 p.m.—Porchester Hall (London Central and West). London Group—Central. United cele- bration of FiIhrer's birthday.
May 2. 8.3o p.m.—Porchester Hall. Day of National Work.
Then follows another list of seven meetings of the Labour Front proper, two of what is described as " the Brighton cell," one in Sutton, four in different parts of London. All these, it will be observed, are party meetings, not gatherings of Germans as Germans. There is nothing in the least degree illegitimate about them, but they are no doubt part of an elaborate machinery for keeping the party headquarters apprised of the activities of every German outside Germany. The net seems to reach everyone, from domestic servants to, I suppose, diplomatists.
