NO BUSINESS WITH HITLER
When a publisher ad- vertises 2 book or an author hints that some-: thing he has written is very good, indeed, no one thinks it odd. When seven private citizens who don't know the author and have no connection with the publisher spend their own private money to advertise a book, peo- ple may wonder why. The book in this instance is "You Can't Do Business with Hitler," the author| Douglas Miller, formerly American commercial
attache in Berlin. The private citizens are Ray- mond Clapper, John Kier- an, Albert D. Lasker, Mrs. Dwight L. Morrow, Carl Van Doren. Matthew Woll and Wendell L. Willkie.
