tier five months, the Gettysburg
of the war between Germany and
Great Britain has been fought.
Pepper telegraphed Wheeler. a
foremost isolationist. that he would
speak in Helena, Mont. June 4. on
the subject rs the President

bate the subject with him.
If Wheeler could not get to Hell
ena on that date. Pepper said he
would meet him any time, any
place"
OF Wheeler's fellow isolationist,
Charles A. Lindbergh, Pepper said :
One cannot escape the impress
sion that there is something pc
culiar in the sympathy Lindbergh
has for the German way of doing
things, for the Nazi thoroughnesS,
efficiency and cold-bloodedness. 1t
seems more than coincidence that

British should be able to give q

in Crete. The British air bases in
Palestine are about as close to
Cyprus as the German air bases in
Greece were to Crete. The Germans,
on the other hand, will have to fly
almost as far as the British flew
from Egypt to back up their ground
forces in Crete. Thus, the air odds
will be somewhat reversed, except
for the fact that Germany still has
