SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. ID
Sharp condemnation Of the recent
speech by Charles a Lindbergh
in which he labeled the Jews rs
one of three groups pressing this
nation toward war. was made In
the sermon Of DR.. Julian {, Me-
PheeterS. pastor Of the Glide Me-
mortal Church, who declared.
"Anti-semitism is one OF the
most blighting scourges that has
ever infected mankind. The tes-
timony of history In to the sober
ing fact that no nation can enjoy
enduring peace and prosperity
and harbor anti-semitism within
her borders.
II regret exceedingly that
Charles A. Lindbergh, i'm his re-
cent address, classified the Jews
as the second major group In
America responsible for deliber-
ate propaganda to draw the
United States into the present
war.
I'VE venture the assertion
that just 1 large n proportion
of American citizens of imme-
date English and Scot descent
stand for Intervention In the
present war as OF the Jewish
race.
THE Jewish people are
peace-loving people and are no
more war propagandists than
any other group OF our Amer
lean citizens. We were amazed
To hear such an unjust ACCUSE
ton and especially nj such a
critical hour In our history when

lRenrlnted from sunday. FInaI EdItIOnl

THE raising of the racial issue by Charles A.
Lindbergh in his Dcs Moines, Ia, speech Is the
most unfortunate happening that has occurred IN
the United States since the present tense intena-
tional situation developed.
Mr. Lindbergh SAID that the three most I'M
portant groups which have been pressing this
country toward war are the British, the jewish
and the Roosevelt administration.
The assertion that the Jews arc pressing this
country into war is UNWISE, UNPATRlOTlC
AND UN-AMERICAN.

MR. LINDBERGi in his amazing statement dld
wi not adducc single proof that any noted
Jew or group of Jews has been urging this country
TO 90 to war.
Mr.. Lindbergh makes a still graver charge
when he saws that the greatest danger IN this
country lies in the Ownership and Influence
of the Jews in radio, motion pictures and "Our

This sounds exactly like things that Hitler
said in the early days of his regime, followed by
the brutal and incredible treatment Of German
Jewish citizens, which Mr.. Lindbergh himself
condemns.
Among Americans who are TRULY and
TRADITIONALLY AMERICAN in ideals there
are not--and MUST NEVER BE-religious or
racial divisions.
MIR. LINDBERGH in previous speeches has said
IVI he is opposed to hatred, bitterness and mutual
