"[A]lthough... German fascists destroyed the workers' organisations, the trade unions, they did not apply the same methods to the EMPLOYERS' ORGANISATIONS. While the workers... are now nakedly exposed to attacks upon their wages, hours and conditions, with no organisation... to protect them, the Employers have their strong Organisation of Industrial Concerns. This... has preserved intact its funds from pre-Nazi days. The fascists... did not dare lay a finger on the funds or organisations of the big capitalists. And for very good reason: it was the secret money gifts of these big capitalists which helped the fascists to trick and terrorise their way to power. It is true that they made a bluff at "dissolving" the organisation of the German employers, in the earlier days... when they... needed to fool... their... followers who had been duped into a belief in their "socialist" promises They "dissolved" it one day—without touching its funds—and it reappeared the next day, under another name, and is still going strong!"
