"naif" that she and Mr.. Lippman
mean?
Says Miss Thomspon Is Afraid.
We have in our glorious history
been many times In darker danger
than today-and we have not been
afraid. Within the memory of living
men we have had British troops in
Canada Austrian, French and Mex
ican troops strong against us in
Mexico; we have had Franz Josef,
Napoleon III and Victoria against
us-and we were not afraid. Miss
Thomspon is afraid. She says every
speaker and writer who is support
Ing the administration lives under
constant cold terror"
We of the America First Commit
tee don't. Thousands of us-mil-
lions of us-mothers of sons, wives
of potential soldiers, know that this
isn't our war, because, truly and
deeply as We sympathize with Eng
land, generously as we are willing
to help her in ways Of peace and
rebuilding, it is not for one great
nation to dictate to another in the
serious matter of war. Incidentally
was saying this, as thousands of
American mothers known from club
platforms everywhere, during all the
years when Dorothy Thompson was
in Germany and Russia. And 1t is
not for her to say that an American
in the ninth generation, like myself,
who opposes Dorothy Thompson and
President Roosevelt in the order
named, is anything but 100 per cent
and proudly and passionately loyal
to everything American, and nothing
that isn't American.
Very few of these fire-eaters of
today participated in the last war.
My men did, and in the Spanish
War, the Civil War, and one of
them lies buried on Breeds Hill.
And my friendship for Col. Lind
bergh, my faith in him, my know
ledge as well as profound belief that
he means the simple, forceful state
ments he makes is as deep as my
faith in America itself. He's fighting
now for America; he's paying now
for his loyalty. But when the sons
of mothes and fathers in all humble
little towns and farmsteads of
America are on the red battle line,
or drifting to, and fro on or under
the icy Atlantic tides, Dorothy
Thompson, Walter Lippman and all
the rest will still be safe on the side
lines.
They are in the position of the
prize-fighters manager who shouts
60 in there and punch him. He
can't hurt us!"

Prayers for Peace
At Early Time Urged
By Catholic PreIates
Supplieotion Also Asked
For the Guidance
OF Our President

Prayers for an early peace which
will guarantee the rights and honor
of all nations" and not be based ''on
the oppression or destruction of
peoples" we're urged last night by
the 10 Catholic Archbishops and
Bishops of the Administrative
Board of the National Catholic We'll
fare Conference.
The churchmen, in a statement
made public after a series of meet
ings here this week, also called for
fervent prayers for the guidance and
strengthening "of our President,
our Congress, and civil authorities
in the overwhelming responsibilities
of this tragic hour"
Pope's Message Reaffirmed.
The five points laid down by Pope
Plus XI in his 1899 Christmas mes
sage as essential to enduring world
peace, including assurance to all
nations of their right of life and in
dependence, were reaffirmed by the
bishops who described the principles
as "a spiritual bulwark of national
defense"
Concerning the national defense
program, the churchmen said:
THE American people has,
through orderly democratic action,
expressed its solemn judgment that
to be safe in the world today our
Nation must be strong. An
adequate program of national de-
fense, as we see 1t, embraces both
strength in arms and strength in
spirit. With armed strength, 1t Is
not for us as bishops to deal. We
leave out civil and military authori-
ties. Our particular part in any
program of national defense must
have to do with things of the spirit"
Federal Action Praised.
Declaring that spiritual influ-
ences of their home communities"
should follow the boys who go to
training camps, the bishops ex-
pressed appreciation for the Gov
ernment's action in intrusting "the
task of maintaining morale for
camp communities and defense
areas to private agencies whose
service is inspired and guided by
faith in God and love for men,"
