Believes:
Lindbergh Is Pro Nazi,
Not at All Maize

1.-THE opinions expressed by

Detroit Timss.)
uTTLERS progra for the
IL United States is impotence
through chaos. The first objective
is 10 haft aid to Britain and thus
secure a quick and easy victory.
The second is TO secure our ad-
herence TO the new order by an
internal revolution, which Will put
into power anti-British and anti
democratic elements, who. whether
from fear of war. or from love OF
power. or from sincere CONVICTION,
=erfram hatred and rebellion
against the present condition OF
our civilization are prepared TO
make a Nazi America.
Should this revolution proceed
smoothly. by a coup d'etat and the
subsequent ruthless suppression of
dissenting elements through the
use of the armed and police forces
of the captured state, or whether
il should result - as the Hitler
clique believe II within civil war.
the result would be the same from
Hitlers viewpoint.
TN THE one case America would
i integrate herself voluntarily in
the new order. In the other a vic
toriouS Germany and a rampant
Japan would intervene, with arms,
IL need be, on the side of the Nazi
revolutionarieS.
In any case. the aim Is to make
The United States Nazi and put
us in the position of being a Nazi
colony OF a Nazi world.
WHAT is occurring is worldwide
w counter revolution as an in
strument of world conquest, and
it is in the light of the only two
possible choices for America: nazi-
ism or resistance, that Colonel
Lindberg's activities, and those of
every one else, must be judged
Colonel Lindbergh's fame, his
popularity, his family are all ir-
relevant. The question is: What
is Colonel Lindbergh counselling
for America, and what will be the
eventual result of what Colonel
Lindbergh is doing?
The immediate effects are to
weaken the government and Gre
ate public confusion in the most
critical moment of history and to
stimulate violence in a time when
we need to be united and calm.
Colonel Lindbergh makes a speech
advocating the cessation of all-aid-
to-Britain.
The meeting. in New York, is
picketed by those who want aid
continued. and who are support
ing the governments policy.
THERE is nothing new in these
4 counter = mons lions
against speakers for any policy.
Every meeting in support of the
government is picketed by oppo-
nents. And every speaker and
writer who is supporting the adj
ministration lives under a con-
slant cold terror.
The announcement that this
colunnist would speak over
local radio station in a New Eng
land city brought q threat TO the
station by telephone that il would
be blown up. Sponsors of every
meeting in support of aid for Brit
ain are threatened with violence.
Yet, until Colonel .Lindbergh's
meeting in New YORK. no actual
violence had been employed. And
this time it was precipitated, not
by those who were picketing the
colonels meeting. but by his sup
porters. who let fly at the
picketers.
COLONEL LINDBERGH'S sup
~ porters are violent. They will
grow increasingly violent. When
our arms production is well under
way there will be another series
of strikes in arms plants and
there will be sabotage.
These will be attributed to Com
rnunist agents and. among some
of Colonel Lindbergh's supporters,
there u-ill he CYiac for fba ,tttl1aee
suppression of all unions. But
both the strikes and The counter
strikes will be manifestations of
the spirit of fear. rebellion, and
indiscipline against. the govern
ment-a spirit that seeks the
division of the nation in the face
of unparalleled crisis.
The sole beneficiary will be Hit
