LOOSE TALK

There's no better time than right
now for the people Of this country to
serve notice on politicians that they want
facts, not fairy stories, in the forthcom-
ing presidential election and in all dis
cussions Of the United States armament
program.
Senator Claude A. Pepper, ardent ad-
vocate of conscription and National
Guard mobilization, stepped bit too
far beyond the bounds Of clean politics
and good taste when he virtually charged
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh this week
with being ''the chief of the nations fifth
columnists" Since fifth columnist" is
another word for traitor" or "spy,"
we believe the colonel would be amply
justified in taking roundhouse swing
at Senator Peppers chin, if he felt so
inclined.
We don't agree fully with either
Colonel Lindbergh or Senator Pepper,
and we agree in part with both, but we
condemn fundamentally any such cam
paign of terror as is evident in the SEN
ator's description of Lindbergh. After
all, a man is not a traitor in America
simply because he disagrees with US.
