Neither Strength Nor Peace
Lies in Sacrificing Rights.

America is great in herself. She
is still greater in the ideals she has
given to the world She has no
illusions about the designs Of these
powerful military nations which
Col. Lindbergh fears to antagonize
She has undertaken her course that
America may be safe in a world
which respects the only kind of life
Americans care to lead
If we sacrifice our principles. our
heritage. our brithright and our
independence, we shall have neither
strength nor peace, no matter how
well prepared.
An America which declined to
appease the Napoleonic system,
which declined TO yield its inde-
pendence to Great Britain in 1872,
which maintained its way of life
against the imperialism of the past
century, will not abandon its indie
pendent right to maintain its indie
pendent destiny in the presence of
any threat of force. We can COM
mand force in whatever measure
needed. But we do not worship
force. either at home or abroad. AS
in the old Psalm, our trust is in
courage and righteousness our ideal.

strong city.

that we divide our production be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States.
There remains the question of the
Army. Normally this has been a
nucleus designed for quick eXpan-
sion when danger threatens. Since
we are not, and do not propose to
be a militarist Nation, the size of
our Army must always be propor-
tionate to the problems which we
may have to meet. The grave re-
sponsibility of hemisphere defense
in the present world does demand
commensurate land forces. We are
ready to provide them. If Col.
Lindbergh had checked the entire
history of the country he would
find that never in peace time has
more been done to build up our
Army. We have the foundations
for an Army worthy Of our country,
and adapted to any necessary de-
fense action. 1t will be there when
needed.
You will see, in the next few
weeks, hundreds of thousands of
men called to the colors. to be aug
mented by other hundreds of thou
sands in a short time. If you think
a minute you will realize that these
men could not have been called.
could not have been equipped and
could not be trained had it not been
for years of patient and productive
work to create the plant. the equip
ment, the transportation, the ord
nance, the organization and the
thousands of underlying and sup
porting mechanisms which are re-
quired in modern warfare We can
do, in two years, more than Ger
maGy did in seven, and we are able
on sea, in the air and on land to
assure the completion of the pro-
gram should defense be needed.
None of this happened by acci-
dent. We can do this because it was
planned for and developed The
plants for equipment were selected
months ago. BY educational orders
we have learned the methods of
production and taught them to the
producers.
When, therefore, Col Lindbergh
argues that We ought to sacrifice
the principles on which the United
States was built, and that we ought
to have played up to the axis powers
because Of their strength, although
they were obviously hostile to the
United States; when he tells us
that we are a weakened nation in
the center Of an antagonistic world,
and therefore ought to be fright
out of our British friendship, Col.
Lindbergh displays alike his ignor-
ance of the United States, of its
state of preparedness and, most of
all. of its iron will. l agree that
this nation has the power to lead
the world to new heights of civiliza-
ton. l do not agree that this can
be done by faWning on powers in
Europe or Asia because they happen
to be strong or by sacrificing those
nations which still believe in the
free spirit because some militarist
group desires their downfall. I do
not see in that kind of thing lead
ership toward civilization or indeed
leadership at all Least of all do
see in it sane policy for the de-
feOSe 0f the limited States

NEW YORK, Oct. H.-Tke pre-
pared teTt OF the address by for
mer Assistant Secretary OF War
Louis A Johnson ODer the Mutual
BroadcaSting System last night
tolloWS.
Two days ago the American pub
lie was presented with a remark
able exhibition. Col. Lindberg
stepped out of his recognized field
of aviation and appointed himself
sole guardian of American inde-
pendence. Having done this, he
then asserted that the United States
was without leadership, and based
this on the surprising theory that
we had "alienated the most power
full military natiors of both Europe
and Asia" He thought we were ur-
prepared for action, and his idea
appeared to be that the leadership
of the United States should have
urged the country against parti
ality for any nation" With the
political side of Col. Lindberghs ad-
dress l do not propose TO deal. l,
therefore, leave on one side what I
consider his partisan plea TO vote
against the President.
The powerful military nations of
Europe and Asia" to which Col
Lindbergh refers are, of course, Ger
many and Japan. In plain English,
he now argues that we should ap-
pease these powers, just as he argued
several months ago that We should
make a peace that would sanctify
their conquest. His plea against
"partiality for any power of fall
ing victim to foreign WileS," means,
in blunt language, that we ought to
stop helping Britain.
Well, let us look at the facts.
