BOYCOTT URGED
Former Isolationist U.S. Newspapers
(Received August 28, 9.10 p.m.) NEW YORK, August 27,
The United Dress of America says that the Anti-Nazi League, whose president is Mr. James Gerard, former American Ambassador to Germany, has started a campaign to boycott the New York “Daily News,” which “tends to destroy our democracy and make us lose faith in our national leaders in the hour of grave peril.” Campaigners throughout the city distributed 100,000 leaflets urging readers not to buy the “Dally News.” Mr. Gerard said the boycott would extend to the “Chicago Tribune” and the Washington “Times Herald.” All three papers belong to the McCormick and Patterson families.
