Flyers Des Moines Speech
Attempt To Stir Up
Hdtreds

, New York City QLNS).-The Jew
ish Labor Committee and the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee, in joint
statement made public here, assailed
the unsupported and unsupportable
charge impugning the patriotism Of
Americans of the Jewish faith" which
{ it said was contained in the speech by
Charles A. Lindbergh in Des Moines
Sept. II.
y "Our interests and those of our
country are one and indivisable," the
two committees declared.
"The overwhelming denunciation
with which the charge has been met
from coast to coast by the press and
: by leaders of all faiths" the state
ment continued, "places it in the cate
: CORY in which it belongs. 1t is not
serious argument but only another
example of the now familiar tactics
of the Nazis to divide the countries
by stirring up religious and racial
hatreds and setting group against
group. In supporting these tactics anC
accusing others of lack of patriotism
Mr. Lindbergh's charges react only
upon himself.
"Americans of Jewish faith, il
common with Americans of every
other faith, denounce Hitler's perse
cution of the Jews and his number
less other crimes against civilization
But the sympathy of any group o.
Americans for any people in an!
other land is wholly distinct from
their basic American interests. Eacl
of US answers for himself the ques
tion whether the United States is O.
is not next on Hitler's list of victim
and what our foreign policy shoul'
be.
"As every one knows, Jews in thi
country represent in all respects saw
a common religion, cross-section o
the American population, with all tn
differences Of viewpoint which such
cross-section includes. AS individuals
each one of us has a right to hi
views, whether for or against iso
lationism, without fear that Mr. Lind
bergh can intimidate any Of US wit

Foreign Policy Groups
Says Mediation Board
Confuses Labor Issue

Washington, ID. c. ULNS).-The
National Defense Mediation Board
"has in practice confused mediation
and arbitration" the Foreign Policy
Association declared in a report made
public here.
Although empowered solely to pro
mote voluntary agreements, "recom-
mendatons" of the defense board in
many cases "constitute compulsory
arbitration, particularly since they
may be enforced by government
seizure of the strike-bound plant,
the association says.
'In practice" it adds, sit is diff
cult for the parties to labor dis
pute to be completely frank with me-
diators who may later pronounce an
arbitral Judgment
The report says that "the govern.
ment is striving to control prices foi
consumers goods, but its efforts are
unlikely to succeed if consumer in
come derived from wages and bust
ness continues to rise. Thus cell
ing on prices requires ceiling or
wages and profits"
If the defense labor problem is tC
be solved, the government must clear
ly define its policies on wages, hours
the closed shop and profits and the
economic implications of our defense
effort must be clearly understood, the
report holds.

SEEK NEW SOURCE OF RUBBER

Los Angeles.-Sceintists at Califor-
MIA Institute of Technology, aided by
WPA workers, are experimenting
with the sagebrush-like guayule plant
of the desert as a possible domestic
source of rubber. WPA workers are
growing 500 of these native Mexican
shrubs. The botany department of the
college is sponsoring the project. One
large rubber concern has spent over a
million dollars in an attempt to grow
the shrub on California plantations,
but the cost has remained too high
to compete with imported rubber
There is 1,0OOacre experimental
plantation of guayule at Salinas
Calf, and the seedlings for the Cal
Tech tests came from there.

toward the barn, his fat back
straight as yaFdstick. Brown fol-

The three defenders moved back
into the house and watched. They
had not long to wait. The invaders
ran out the white rag again to in

and horses poured out of the barn
and from the creek bed into the
open.
jeff lay on the bed. The fever
was mounting IN him.

He gave Brand a wet towel with

he unfastened the bandage around

tied another handkerchief around
