DIES MONIES. Iowa, Sept. IA
Charles A. Lindbergh contends the
British, Jews and the Roosevelt ad-
ministration are plotting to drive
the United States into the war.
His voice drowned out at times
by the boos and cheers of bois-
terous and heckling crowd, the flyel
declared at an America First rally
last night:
The three most important groups
who have been pressing this coun-
try toward war are the British, tht
Jewish and the Roosevelt admins
tration."
Before Mr.. Lindbergh reached the
platform the crowd heard-ano
cheered II distinct times-the broad
cast of President Roosevelt's ad-
dress.
Crowd DiSorderly.
Earl C. Jeffrey, America First field
representative who estimated the
crowd at $500, said the conduct OF
the gathering was the worst
have seen"
1T was a very small minority
he added. 1T looked like an or
ganized attempt to sabotage the
meeting"
The war agitators," Mr.. Lind
bergh said, have planned:
First, to prepare the United
States for war under the gulse
of American defense; second, to
involve us in the war, step by step
without our realization; third, to
create a series of incidents which
would force us into actual conflict
Terming England's position "des-
perate," he declared her geographi-
cal position such that she cannot
win the war by the use of aviation
alone, regardless of how many planes
We send her"
only the creation of sufficient
incidents yet remains. and you see
the first of these already taking
place, according to plan-a plan
that was never laid before the
American people for their approval.
Says England Can't Win.
Referring to England's position
Mr. Lindbergh asserted:
Her population is not large
enough and her armies are not
strong enough to invade the con-
tinent of Europe and win the war
she declared against Germany. Her
geographical position is such that
she cannot win the war by aviation
alone regardless of how many planes
we send her.
Even if America entered the war,
It is improbable that the Allied
armies could invade Europe and
overcome the Axis powers" ."
If it were not for her hope, he said,
that she can make the United States
responsible for the war financially,
as we'll as militarily, I believe that
England would have negotiated a
peace in Europe many months ago
and be better off for doing So"
Mr.. Lindbergh said he could un-
derstaind why the Jewish people
desired the overthrow of the Nazi
regime.
The persecution they suffered in
Germany would be sufficient to
make bitter enemies OF any race.
No person with a sense of the
dignity of mankind can condone
the persecution Of the Jewish race
in Germany"
He advised, however, that in
stead of agitating for war, the Jew
ish groups in this country should
be opposing it in every possible
way, for they will be among the
first to feel its consequences"
ASsails Jewish Influence.
Tolerance, he declared, Cannot
survive war and devastation"
Their greatest danger to this
country" he said of the Jews, lies
in their large ownership and in
fuence in our motion pictures. our
press, our radio and our Govern
ment."
Charging the international sit
uation had been used to obtain a
third presidential term, the flyer
declared THE power of the Roose-
welt administration depends upon
the maintenance of wartime
emergency"
The danger of the Roosevelt
administration lies in its Subter-
fuge," he said. While its members
have promised us peace, they have
led us to War-heedless of the plat
form upon which they were elected.
If any one of these groups-the
British, the Jewish, or the admins
tration-stops agitating for war, I
believe there will be little danger of
our involvement"
Mr.. Lindbergh assailed the lease
lend program for sending a major
part of American plane production
abroad.
To-day, two years after the start
Of the war" he said, the American
Army has only a few hundred thor
oughly modern bombers and fighters
less in fact, than Germany is able
to produce in single month.
Ever since its inception, our arms
program has been laid out for the
purpose of carrying on the war in
Europe far more than for the pur-
pose Of building an adequate defense
for America"
