PHILADELPHIA, May 30
Charles A. Lindbergh contended last
night it is President Roosevelt him
self who advocates world domination
and declared:
IF we attempt to follow policy
such as the President suggests, we
will start a war between the hemi-
spheres that may last for genera
tons"
An estimated $4,000 packing the
Arena and overlooking into the
street for an America First Commit
tee rally against war cheered the
flyers assertion that:
This country is not going into a
foreign war. There is no question
of our unity-it is the will of ma
jority of our people. We will stay
out of war"
Mr.. Lindbergh drew shouts OF
mo" from the heavily -policed crowd
with statements that intervention
lists have told us that we might
even have to convoy ships" There
were prolonged booes on two occa-
sions he referred to President RooSe-
velts flreSide chat.
Sees Philosophy of Failure.
"The philosophy of the interven-
tionists is a philosophy OF failure"
stated the speaker. Our own Presl-
dent says that the safety of Amer
lea lies in controlling the Cape Verde
Islands off the coast of Africa. Even
Hitler never made a statement like
that.
Mr.. Roosevelt claims that Hitler
desires to dominate the world. But
it is Mr.. Roosevelt himself who ad-
vocates world domination when he
saws that it is our business to con-
troll the wars of Europe and ASIA,
and that we in America must doml-
nate islands lying off the African
coast"
Continuing his attack on inter-
ventionistS, Mr. Lindbergh asserted
"they say that the only way we can
defend democracy is by~adopting
the policies of totalitarian state
ourselves. They tell us it is undem-
ocratic for us to question the type
of leadership that has taken to de-
feat every nation in the world that
followed it"
Offers New Leadership.
"Their policies have failed, and
their promises have been worthless.
They have a record of utter failure
behind them-Poland, Finland, Nor
way, Holland, Belgium, France,
Yugoslavia, Greece. Yet now they
demand that we too enter the great
est conflict in history, unprepared.
I ask you, is our Nation to follow
them further? Is it now time for
us to turn to new policies and to
new leadership"
Mr.. Lindbergh offered the America
First Committee as Leadership Of
different type" urged his hearers
to join the movement and declared
I'VE can establish better world
here, better conditions for the aver
age man, and a better way of life,
than Europe has ever SEEN"
I'VE are not the blind followers
of a totalitarian regime" continued
the flyer. I'VE demand the truth
from our leaders. We demand that
they tell us where they are leading
us. We demand that they stop all
this vagueness and confusion, and
tell us, as free men, what their in
tentions are about this war"
One Repeat After Another.
Mr.. Lindbergh said there was
"still the possibility of negotiated
peace in Europe" after the fall of
Poland but not as far as the inter-
ventionists were concerned" He
linked himself with those who did
not want to see England defeated"
In advocating a negotiated peace.
I'VE realize how futile it was to |
carry on war for which only Ger
many had prepared" he said
1--WE know that it would only send |
the best men of Europe to die by
the hundreds of thousands and |
that with each month that passed
England would be in a worse posi-
ton to negotiate than she was be-
fore.
But the interventioniSts were still
in control. Always the same |
story-one defeat after another
since this war began. And always |
the demand for more assistance |
from America. First they said |
Sell us the arms and we will win.
Then it was lend us the arms and
we will win Now it is bring us
the arms and we will win To-
morrow it will be fight our war for
us and we will win
80 Fer Cent for Peace"
The crowd gave Mr.. Lindbergh,
Kathleen Norris, the novelist, and
Chairman Walsh of the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee, who also
spoke, a prolonged and enthusi-
astic reception.
Miss Norris asserted that 1--WE
should let Europe fight its own
war" but said later that when it
comes to defending our own coun-
try, we'll be there"
Senator Walsh contended that
the interventionists, desperate"
because propaganda has failed to
change "the overwhelming senti-
nent of the American people for
peace" now are trying to "stifle our
civil rights, our free speech and
seek to malign those who have the
courage to champion the peace de-
manded by 80 per cent OF the
American people for peace"
