COMMON SENSE WAR THOUGHTS
To be lawyer or barber requires
study and license. Anyone can be
Ia pool hall strategist that can get an
audience. In early September, 1888
Senator Wheeler announced over
(partly his) radio station KGIR from
which he excluded Walter WinchelD
that there would be no war in Europe
for year. He was wrong by 1862
days. President Roosevelt had pub
licly announced in June, 1889, that
from information he had from every
American Embassy in Europe there
would be major war in Europe as
soon as the crops there were har-
vested in 1887
A rapidly dwindling number listen
to Wheeler yet. They think, having
heard it so often from his own and
his secretary's lips, that he is a top
notch military expert. Scrutiny of
Wheeler's background, his intellectu-
ally lazy life, his distaste for study,
his exalted ego, his straddling allegi-
ance to the Montana Power Company
and the Railway Brotherhood his
vanity grown balloon size from shirt
stuffing' by the company-owned news
papers, would indicate to common
sense that Wheeler's opinion on any
international question is probably
WrOnp-at least worthless
Aesop tells of man driving char
lot from Athens to Megara. a gnat

said "see what a dust | am kicking
up"
So with Lindbergh. l was in Los
to an audience of 10000 people, stated
that sit was absolutely inconceivable
that Germany and Russia should go
to war with each other, that their
ideologies were y too much alike"
Charlie did not know any more about
the ideologies of either one last June
than he did as county fair para
chute jumper in North Dakota 25
years ago. German armies were
into Russia before Charlie
ate breakfast next morning
Lindbergh aids Germany Indirectly
by trying to divide America because
ne was much impressed by Hitlers
of Lindbergh, and also be-
cause of his alliance with the House
If Morgan. Wheeler, like Aesop's
snat, thinks himself of presidential
size and since his betrayal of the peo-
pie in Roosevelt's now successful
light to unpack the supreme court,
enjoys more free front page
of the Copperhead press
han any other man in the country,
except the Texas buffoon, Martin
Dies.
Who are the Copperheads, that in
7isible party of obstructionists of
which Wheeler and and Lindbergh
re the spearheads? My notion is
hat they are the inner circle of great |
wealth in the United States - men
Who helped financially to arm German
azists to destroy the Farmer-Labor |
overnment in Russia. Are Copper

There were Copperheads in France.

communism. They advanced bill
