The "Lone Eagle" of wartime
defeatism is giving leadership to
the forces of hate again.
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh,
hero of the prewar isolationists,
has re-entered public life.
He has just published a new
book which is being touted by
fascists and ultra-reactionaries
as their theological exposition.
The book repeats many of the
long discredited Hitlerian myths.
1t is a major weapon in the at
tempt to build

stinkers.
No doubt it's one of the by
products of the decentralization
of the whole film industry which
stems from the recent purge of
the producers and writers who
were hailed before the un-Amer-
lean committee. An industry
which hasn't got the CUTS to
stand up and fight for freedom
of expression in its own field
just naturally doesn't have the
integrity to maintain 4 decent
standard of excellence in that
field.

Lindbergh's reoctionary record
more revealing than his book

Buchenwald and Auschwitz and
Dachau-a record of bloodshed
and oppression" that has, in
deed, never been equaled.
Lindbergh is fearful of some
aspects of world government, he
says, because Leadership would
pass to the great masses of Asia"
His racial bigotry, exposed by
an anti-Semitic speech which he
delivered before the war at Des
Moines, Iowa, stands out in other
phrases in the book.
Hitler's tyrannical freedom,
built on the blood of Jews, Poles,
a other inferior nations,
was basically our own" civil
zation, Lindbergh claims.
1t appears that Lindbergh's
book is designed for mass circu-
lation as propaganda for war and
fascism The publishers, Charles
Scribner's Sons, is selling it for
only $3.50 - a peculiarly low
price in these days of S. books.
The name "Scribner" has been
associated with Lindbergh be-
fore. Before the war, many of
his speeches were reprinted IN
Scribner's Commentator, an $50
iationist organ which folded
with Pearl HarbOr.
On the staff of Scribner'S
Commentator was at least one
secret Japanese agent, Ralph
Townsend, who later was con-
victed by a federal court.
The editor in chief of Serb
ner's Commentator, which also
published anti Jewish articles,
was George T. Eggleston, who is
now an associate editor of the
Readers Digest. In its Septem-
Der issue, the Readers Digest
published condensation of
Lindbergh's book.
Also On the staff of Scribner's
Commentator was one Fred Kis-
ter, who later organized the anti
Semitic Christian Veterans of
America and worked closely
with Mrs. Elizabeth Dilling
Stokes, Gerald l.. X. Smith, and
others of that ilk.
After the Christian Veterans
of America flopped, Kister or
ganized the American Renais-
sance Book Club, which began
taking orders for Lindbergh's
book even before it was pub
lished.
Among the other books
plugged by Kister is one praised
by Gen. George Van Horn Nose
ley, once selected by the fas-
cists to e d revolutionary
march on Washington. as an ex-
pose of chow our fighting lads

In Scribner's Con alentator for
August, 1941-just q Jew months
before Pearl Harbor-many of
Lindbergh's defeatist opinions
were published. At that time,
this propaganda could help only
the Nazis.
81 have constantly advocated
negotiated peace" Lindbergh
said, for example.
Repeating another Nazi myth,
he held:

they do not - and any intelligent effort
