evada City Nugget Thinking Out Loud COVERS RICHEST GOLD AREA IN CALIFORNIA By H. M.-L. — The “Patagonian affair’’ which Vol. 13, No. 39. The County Seat Paper the courts and through govern large number of investigations and arrests, to be sure, but as a matter of fact, a very large number of German Argentines Sare heartily helping the government to run down those oftheir fellow ‘“Aryans,’ who have erred. A large percentage of settlers, German born or of German extraction, are well ‘ contented with Argentine as it is. They want no truck with Hitler or Hitlerism. The Germans of Argentine, like Germans of the United tates, if we were to regard them as a group, are so much better off in their adopted country, than their relat ives in the “Vaterland,’’ that they abominate the very thought of a totalitarian state. Our own conclusion is. that while a relatively few rabid Nazi proponents in this and other coun tries make the big noise and the headlines, there are hosts of other patriotic American citizens of German blood who heartily loathe demonstrations which essentially are alien and often hostile to democracy. The seven plagues the Israelites suffered in Egypt were no worse than the various plagues of communism, fascism, ham and eggism, nudism and various other isms that harass the Aerican people today. But when a few Germans, a few Russians, or a few of any other nationality, whom we have so freely and so carelessly admitted into this country begin to proselite and agitate and make of themselves infernal nuisances, let us remember all those others of “the same nationality, who have So many rumors, so many false tales, so much small The facts, as we have ascertained them, are these: . .
