HAYS SAYS DEFENDANTS INNOCENT IN REICH FIRE

"All the evidence points to a complete innocence of the defendants in the Reich-stag fire trial," claimed Arthur Garfield Hays, prominent New York attorney at a monster mass meeting last night at Tremont Temple. The meeting, which was supported by the Harvard Liberal Club, the Harvard Chapter of the National Student League, and the Harvard Monarch, was arranged by the Boston Committee to Aid Fascist Victims.

Mr. Hays continued by saying that, "the German revolution is the meanest and most mendacious revolution the world has ever seen; mean because it persecuted the people who are not offering resistance to it; mendacious because its whole program is built on lies." Vander Lubbe, the Dutch defendant who confessed to setting the fire, was assisted by Nazis, if assisted at all."
