NEW YORK. March 15-The text
of Col. Charles A. Lindberghs reply
to Secretary Of War Dern declining to
serve on a special committee to study
the Army's mail flying. follows:
Il greatly appreciate the honor Of
your request that I become a member
of a special committee to study and
report upon Army aviation in relation
to national defense.
I would, of course, be glad to con-
tribute in any way that can to the
maintenance of an adequate national
defense. However, according to the
announcement by the War Depart
ment, this committee is to study and
report upon performance by the
Army Air Corps in its mission to
carry the airmail as directed by ex-
ecutive order.
Il believe that the use of the Army
Air Corps to carry the airmail was
unwarranted and contrary to Amer
ican principles.
This action was unjust to the air
lines whose contracts were cancelled
