Show nation was liquidated by the Nazis last year. The Battle for Britain is being fought as fierce-1 ly in the Balkans, Spain and even South America as on the coast of northern France and on the , cliffs of Dover. We are being told by some perfectly per-fectly sincere Americans that Hitler will never attack America. But while we are fighting the visible enemy within our gates in our struggle to build up a strong national defense, there is one powerful foe whom we must not overlook a moral saboteur, an unseen Hitler a hidden foe named Intolerance. In nearly every ev-ery case it will be found that where Intolerance stalks the earth it is merely seeking a scapegoat scape-goat an alibi, someone to bear the blame for all its misfortunes and failures.
