Their object. is: "
(1) To capture as many 14 possible of the big salaries, so that foreign exchange may be avull- able with which Germany can make overseas purchases.
(2) To obtain the star parts in as many pletures as possible, and win admiration for German artis- try--thus indirect y for the Ger- man nation-in neutral and other countries
(3) To organise a strong Nazi movement Inside Hollywood, and "enable the women artistes to exercise their charm throughout the United States in order to win as many prominent men as possi- ble over to the German cause.
`MOST BEAUTIFUL
Some of the most beautiful of the German women stars are going on this voyage. All are convinced Nazis, many intimate associates of Goebbels himself.
He is fully aware ui ueir capa- city for intrigue, and has given them elaborate detals of the Way in which they are to carry out their plan in America and of the names of the political, commercial and industrial leaders at whom they are to "set their caps."
They have been told to em- ploy two methods of strategy. First, by making themselves as pleasant as possible to their vic- tims, to try to win them over to a pro-German point of view and to try and win them to cease using their factories or political influence to assist Britain.
Second, if this method fails, to compromise the men so complete-- ly that in order to escapé expo- sure and social ruin they will fall in with..whatever political and industrial proposals are made to
them.
