How far some officers of the United States

intelligent worker, who asked this very puzzieo

1t seems that the quaUermasers office at At

Leader at the siXty-first convention
Of the National Baptist Convention

contains a foreword by Grand

leader OF 75,C0O women in the Elk
organization.
Expressing his clearcut opposition
to those who regard Lindbergh as q
patriot, the noted Elk leader said
1--WE colored people can see clear
through Lindbergh and all his kind.
I remember well when a fine young
coiored man, James Allen, a member
Of our organization, found his dead
child in the New Jersey woods.
Lindbergh didn't lift finger to
give even decent recognition to
what Brother Allen had done. What
is worse, he deliberately had Allen
fired from a circus where he had
gotten a job because he had no
money and was trying to support
his wife and large family. That's
all I ever heard of Lindbergh's re-
lation to my people. He has done
his best to bar the door of hope to
the co]ored brother, and to keep
thumbs down on Allen who found
his baby.
'I am for America first in Nation
al Defense and for everything that

this, do anything that will give aid
and comfort to the twin brutes OF
Europe: Hitler and Mussolini, by
dropping a monkey wrench into the
Presidents machinery for National

fine Italiad hand when he grabbed
