which includes the right of free
dom OF religious worship, freedom
of speech and OF the press, estab-
lished. that most OF the nations Of
the world took them for granted,
and were considering the question
of working out plan for the eco
monte liberty of their citizens.
Some Of the great nations OF Eu-
rope have now come under the
dominion and control of despots
and tyrants who would wipe out
of existence the great gains Of
civil liberty which were made by
the people of civilized nations after
the greatest trials and hardships.
These despots have now put the
United States government and the
American way OF life In jeopardy.
At time of crisis, when our
President has been given emer-
gency powers, anyone should see
that IL Is wrong TO make any state
ment in public speech, the nat
ural tendency OF which Is 10 arouse
racial or religious hatred. We can
not believe that Col. Lindbergh
purpOsely had any such object.
The language which he used, how
ever. was unfortunate, as II has a
tendency to encourage such preju-
dices, and intolerance.
In your able editorial this situs-
ton is explained to the people. and
you deserve the thanks not only Of
minorities. but. also, of the ma
jority of the people. The majority
of today may become the minority
of tomorrow. and vice vsrsa.
The great principle involved. Il
that anything which might have
tendency to stir up religious or
racial prejudices, is un-American.
Mr.. Hearst has spoken out like
MINI defense of America and
democracy.
