Lindbereh's Courage Louded
Flyer Risked Personal Prestige to Express
Honest Views on u S. Defense Needs

horde fighting through many CEN
turies?
Will Britain let her retain the
Channel ports and the French At
lantic Coast as a basis on which
to prepare for a later decision in
making the British Empire her
spoil? Hardly. Britain must fight
for all or nothing.
Col. Lindbergh Is also sound when
he says there is 10 immediate
danger of a Nazi invasion of the
United States. Though some bombs
might be dropped on our Atlantic
Coast-Which he agrees need not
be with adequate air defense-not
enough planes can be made in
Germany to protect an army Of
invasion until Germany has great
navy and tripled her present amount
of merchant shipping.
But should the British fleet be
overcome, should Britain have to
yield. then JananeSp ambition could
run free in the Indian Ocean and
the German in the Eastern Atlantic
We should have to arm, arm perma-
nentlv, to be able to raise a wa1l of
fire for the protection of either
ocean.
The colonel thinks that Germany
cannot successfully invade Britain
or Britain successfully invade Ger
many. This, too, is sound.
Hitler Lashed to War Wheel.
Under present conditions. with
this qualification, Adolf Hitler is
convinced that he can by bombs,
gas. submarines. force her to capit-
ulation by his siege He is lashed to
the war chariot with his ambition.
1t is all or nothing for him. Britain
can win the war If she can break a
German invasion in bloody disaster
and then hold her blockade of Ger
many secure for years with our ma
terial aid and possibly without the
aid Of our troops.
Britain can win unless Germany
has access to the Russian reservoir
of supply. Russia has an immense,
growing army with increasing
mechanization. all set for the de-
fenSe of the Ukraine Hitler would
have to send million men and
huge numbers of planes and tanks
to make the Ukraine fields and the
oil fields his own. Meanwhile from
Vladivostok Stains planes can drop
incendiary bombs on the wooden
cities of Japan causing uncon-
troQable conflagrations. 1t is note
worthy that we have Just released
machine tools for Russia which
nave long been held on our piers.
Our part in giving Britain the
fullest practical aid should be di-
rected by wisdom and farsighted-
ness We must have the perspective,
which she lacks. in responding to
her calls which are sometimes con-
Trajectory, owing to the severe pres
sure she is under. If Gen Pershing
had needed Allied advice altogether,
the World War would have been
lost for the Allies.

to do TO remain a hero was TO go

Aid-Britain Policy Fixed.
This tribute we all owe to Col.
Lindbergh before we consider his
testimony in the light of realities of
world emotion and world issue. 1t
is useless now to say the war might
have been avoided by negotiation if
We had not sent war materials to
the Allies. We are committed to aid
to-Britain as our first line of de-
fense, before her enemy and the
whole world.
Col. Lindbergh says there can be
no negotiated peace until there is a
will to peace. This is sound. We all
prefer the works of peace to the gi-
gantic cost of our industrial arms
program, but we should not forget
that one day the arms may be en-
ployed, at the cost of hosts of dead
and wounded, heavier pensions and
more hospitals for the disabled.
We know how Washington was
