Lindbergh Is Maxi Asset.
Dorothy Thompson Says
By DOROTHY THOMPSON

I DID not hear Mr.. Ickes'
Bastille Day address. But
there was nothing in the eX-
Cerpts l read in the press from
which any one could infer the
accusation that Mr.. Lindbergh
was an agent of foreign gov
eminent. Mr.. IckeS certainly
implied that Mr.. Lindbergh was
Nazi asset in the United
States. And Mr.. Lindbergh is
a Nazi asset. The Nazis regard
him AS an asset.
No one has ever suggested
that he is a NaZi agent in the
technical sense of that term. If
Mr.. Ickes thought he were, he
would presumably advise the
government 10 proceed against
him under the law. which COM
pels agents for foreign govern
ments 10 register as such, and
were that the case the govern
ment would certainly do its
own investigation in its own
way and al its own time. Mr..
Lindbergh is fghtiny case be-
fore one has been made.
Mr.. fGkES analysis Of Lind
4Vl bergh's attitude was based
on Mr.. Lindberg own
speeches.
And il is perfectly true that
Mr.. Lindbergh is handing out
the Nazi party line in this
country. That can be proved
by comparing Mr.. Lindbergh's
speeches with the German
short-wave hroadcasting or with
the official German propaganda.
But whether Mr.. Lindbergh is
cueing the Nazis or the NaZiS
are cueing Mr. Lindbergh isn't
sure. Mr.. Lindbergh has a right
10 advocate his reasoning II is
an unpopular line of reasoning
and one which many people con-
slider dangerous TO the best in
terests Of the United States.
But MIR Lindbergh and assoc
ciates pride themselves on be-
ing unpopular, They cannot
have II both ways. And there
fore they must expect to he Wig

branded by the America First
Committee as a British agent.
But no one of them has asked
for congressional investiga-
ton TO defend his honor.
The President might probe
the charges which the America
First Committee has been max
ing against his own cabinet
members, Mr.. Ickes or Mr..
Morgenthau, Or how about the
President probing the attacks
which Mr.. Lindbergh and asso-
CiateS have made upon the in
competency and the motives OF
the President himself,
MR.. LINDBERGH is wholly
wi 10 blame for the position IN
which he is. Furthermore, had
any one other than he taken
the line he has taken, he would
have been subject TO more vlru-
lent attacks much earlier. Mr..
Lindbergh emerged into politics
AS a sacrosanct individual. He
was a popular idol, a national
hero. Even if people thought
he was wrong. they had an IN
hibition against saving so.
From the time that he flew
the Atlantic. Mr.. Lindbergh has
not led a normal life in relation
to the public. He has been able
10 pursue his own way exactly
as he pleased.
To Mr.. Lindbergh vigorous
and heated opposition is abnor-
NAL. and the President ought 10
do something about 1T. II ought
10 be stopped.
THE leading figures among
i the iSolaiionists. particularly
MIR Lindbergh. Senator Wheeler
and Norman Thomas, have all
assumed the role of noble mar
tyrs. They are being "smeared.
They are not understood.
Meanwhile. they themselves
heap the most virulent abuse
and vilification upon those who
are absolutely convinced that a
Hitler victory in Europe will he
the worst catastrophe America
has ever suffered.
These men denounce paid

tion being that they are bribed

calls paid columnists' are paid

that Senator Wheeler is a paid

ions should retire from public
controversy
MEANWHILE. Mr.. Lindbergh
WI has been. and still is, advo-
eating a complete reorientation
of American foreign policy in
the midst Of the worst world
crisis in our history.
That reorientation would not
only mean the immediate col
lapse Of The government OF

THE wisdom OF democracies resides IL THE PEOPLE.
i The American people are ANTI-SoClAllSTlC by
an overwhelming majority.
This is revealed in recent Gallup poll.

Mr. George Gallup the director polled crosssection of

THE remainder were Overwhelmingly in favor of

THE actual vote:

Mr. Gallup truly says of this startling poll:
"The answers wifi bring comfort to those who may
have thought that large number of Americans in the
employed classes have come to regard blanket govern

This is indeed, the most heartening news that we
have had of late

the change may easily mean tha

1t often develops that this part or
that part is off a hundredth of
an inch or so. You can't do much
to an aluminium i2rging, once
you've got it, Generally, if there
has even been tiny error in dc
sign, you've simply got to make
new die. And when airplanes are
using 20 times as many forgings as
they used to, the chance of get
ting such errors is naturally 30
times as great
There are ether kinds of mis-
takes, too. The aluminium people
tell of one company which ordered

reported that it broke every time
they tried to bend it,
OF course it did replied the
manufacturers. You didn't tell Us

DEMOCRACY is CHARITY

And now abideth faith, hope and
charity, these three; but the greatest of
these is charity"
President Roosevelt's hand rested on
that passage in the Bible when he was
sworn in for third term And in ma
jor degree, that passage was the theme
of his inaugural address. 1t was happy
choice; wise choice.
For democracy is charity.
Charity toward the beliefs, the express
sions, the rights of others.
Without charity, there could be no
democracy; for those who rule would
recognize no strength but their own, lis
ten to no voice but their own, admit of
no power but their own.
The belief that all men are created
equal-what is that but charity of the
strong toward the weak? Not charity in
the poorer, more commonly accepted
sense of the word, but charity as Jesus
Christ visioned it, Charity, the virtue
that is greater even than faith and hope
Yes, charity is truly the cornerstone
of democracy

SHOULD BE Efficient
Turlock Journal)

There seems to be a concerted drive
under way, in the legislature, to abolish
the present relief set-up and substitute
an arrangement whereunder the control
of unemployment assistance would be
largely in the hands of the local county
governments.
The move has a pretty good chance of
success, too. 1t is what the foes of the
Olson administration have been seeking
for quite a while and these same forces
now hold the whip hand both in the SEN
ate and the assembly
1t is possible, of course, that a COM
promise will be worked out, where state
revenues will provide the money and
county officials will say how it is to be
spent.
Until the millennium arrives, it is too
much to hope that relief will be taken
out of politics.
The best that we can hope for is a modi-
cum of honesty and efficiency in the ad-
minstration of relief, guided by the
wants of the needy rather than the wants
of the pOliticos.

WE MUST SAY NO
TO EUROPE'S PLEAS
LOUISVILLE, KY, COurier-J ourna)


The thought of mass hunger is abhor-
rent to decent people. The thought of
mass hunger superimposed this winter
on the bitterness of defeat for millions
of Europe'S victims, has brought hours of
tortured thought to kindly men and wom-
en-.
There is no question but that most of
the people of this country, including
those who have accepted as their own
the cause of British victory, would well
come Fundamentally any plan, however
difficult, however expensive, that enable
the innocent to receive food, but which
would in no way aid the enemies of Great
Britain-and of conquered Europe itself.
The tragic vainness of this hope, the
almost incredible difficulties facing any
organization which attempts to feed the
half-strangled dove without helping the
boa-constrictor, becomes more apparent
as the brutal realities of Hitler's New
Europe" begin to show themselves. They
are admirably summarized, objectively
and dispassionately, in an article by Pc
ter F. Drucker in Ca recent) Saturday
Evening Post.
The German policy so far Mr.. Drucker
says, has been simply to remove all food
surpluSes from the conquered areas, re-
gardless of the needs of the populations.
w 1dI 1ttulilS lids DSell uOle, lie eN pldIllS,
has been done by the army, which has
favored policy of easing the burdens
wherever it has found them"
The politicians are opposed to this
view.
They" says Mr. Drucker, Especially
the powerful secret police believe that
the conquered countries ought to be made
to bear the full burden of the British
blockade. Goring, Goebbels and Hmm
Ter seem to think that hunger will mo-
bilize public sentiment in the defeated
countries against the British blockade :"
While these facts make almost unbear-
able the thought of how conquered peo-
pie are faring in Nazi new world"
they make even more unbearabe the
thought that we should bring aid to those
who have robbed the hungry with deliber-
ate calculation. They point more ines
capably than ever to the conclusion that
only British victory can now aid these
hungry thousands. Our eager and inno-
cent benevolence can bring them no help.
