Liar Lindbergh

through II of Stains numerous Charlie McCarthys.
Stains story is that Lndbergh following his recent
visit big Moscow air show, went home to England
and told Lady Astor and several dinner guests of hers
that RuSsas air force seemed to him to be inferior to
Germany's This, says Stain through his II mouth
pieces in the flying trade, had great deal to do with
impeng Chamberlain to negotiate with Hitler at Munich
rather than fight Hitler and count Russian help in
fighting him. That is Lindbergh contributed to the great
outrage of trying to prevent England from fighting to
make the world safe for Communism.
W., ., , What if Lndbergh did tell
WH0t ~ LHuy some English friends what he
Nil Cn,, H2 thought he in Russia Plenty
of others have visited Russia and
have come home and told what they thought they
there Maybe their reports Inaccurate but they had
a right to make them; and so did Lindbergh
If Lndbergh did testify as charged he only con-
firming what the aforementioned Al Williams had said
before him. Williams famous Navy test pilot who first
took the bugs out of the flat pn and foremost aerobatc
artist is as able fier Lindbergh Williams said he
had enough of Russian fighting aircraft to convince
him that neither the planes the of Russian pilots
measured up to those of Germany
Are these expert fers supposed to keep their mouths
shut of for Holy Russia Stain afraid
to look straight at facts? Or what inspired Stalins
attack? We don't know.
The Russians and the Germans have had many wars
in the past and it looks # they may have another
before very long. Hitler he wants the Ukraine
The Germans have generally been able to lick the
Russians both by land and This expected war
will doubtless show whether Lindbergh lying
about them in the air.
This strange episode ought to teach the Communists
"feow traveers' in this country something assuming
the boys and girls learn anything. 1t ought to
show them that the Russians not
BLOOdy like us.
D; The Russians always have liked to be
~ kicked around by some tyrant. And their
government, whether Czarst bureaucratic (as under
the last Czar) Red has been government based on
what looks to Americans like ntolerable brutality.

cruelties to objectors Peter the Great (1682-1725)
and his executions of boyars esser arlstocrats)
who resisted his decree that they go Western by shaw
ing off their boards and exchanging their skirts for
pants the Ochrana (secret police) under later
Cars the Cheka (secret Dolice-later the OGPU,
now the NKVD) of Stain, and Staln's starvation
of Ukraine peasants who wouldn't kick in their sur
pluses free to the government and Salin wholesale
blood rurges of his enemiesthe picture of servile
people who accept tyranny and put neither value nor
dignity human life.
Whatever Americans faIings are, Americans
not like that. Which ought to indicate that system
which MAY make Russia happy country day
cannot be counted on to make this country happy
For all that, it would be we'll for Americans to bear
this in mind Much most Of disapprove the Rus
sian, German and Italian forms of government there
may time when shall
way Use Enl want to have Russia friendly to
c. d. That time will come when and if
9 Japan begins expanding our way,
and when and if we have to fight Japan for our
share of the Pacific. In such event, it will be
much better for if Russia is neutral or on our
side than if Russia is Japan's side
&c. while it is too much to ask that Americans keep
closed mouths when witnessing Stalins more arocious
crueties listening to Salins more ridiculous brags
there is going out of way to antanogize
Russia.
