Dear Fellow American:

Charles A. Lindbergh is the great American tragedy. His spectacular trans-Atlantic flight made him the world's best known aviator and his country's best loved hero. That was fourteen years ago. Today he is a hero only to the disciples of Adolph Hitler and to misinformed and misguided American isolationists.

But Lindbergh is more than a fallen idol. The flyer has turned politician, and his politics bear a strong resem-blance to Nazism.

That is the tragedy of Lindbergh. It may be the tragedy of his country.

The following pages will explain why Lindbergh has become a hero to all Nazis, both German and American. The answer is simple: in his speeches and writings he has followed the Nazi propaganda line. Whether by coincidence or design, he has become the American voice of the Berlin.

Propaganda Ministry.

This pamphlet uses Lindbergh's own words to show that he defends Nazi aggression while attacking Britain; that he believes in racism but not in democracy; that he advocates a "negotiated peace" with a man to whom treaties are mere scraps of paper; that he urges cooperation with the Nazis, although Hitler boasts cooperation is impossible.

Now that Lindbergh has adopted Hitler's technique of using anti-Semitism to further his un-American crusade, his adherence to the Nazi propaganda line is complete.

In his campaign to sabotage all-out aid to those nations resisting Hitlerism, Lindbergh has set himself up as an expert in all matters, appointed himself the spokesman for a "majority" of the American people.

Friends of Democracy believes this pamphlet will prove that Lindbergh's sentiments are not shared by most Ameri-cans and that many of his "facts" are either unfortunate errors or deliberate misrepresentations.

As the voice of the America First Committee, Lindbergh constitutes a very real threat to our democratic way of life. Under his leadership the Committee has attracted the sup-port of scores of pro-Nazi organizations in all parts of the country. Today, for the first time, the energies of the American Nazi movement are being channeled into one or-ganization, directed by one leader.

If they are able to do so, these organizations will con-vert the America First Committee into a political instrument and establish Lindbergh as their "leader,"

Our charge that Lindbergh constitutes a very real threat to our American institutions is not an empty one. We pre-sent the evidence. Let the reader judge for himself.

In 1935 Charles A. Lindbergh became angry with his country and his felIol

citizens because, as he is reported to have said, "We do not have discipline.

For more than three years he and his family lived in Europe as volunt

exiles. During these years Lindbergh found a new country to admire—Na

Germany. He found new friends—ranking members of the Nazi hierarchy. Is

Hitler's Germany he met men who, like himself, believed in "discipline," am

who enforced it by means of the concentration camp and the axe.

Reproduced above are photographs of Lindbergh with some of his new friends. These include Rudolph Hess who, until his flight to England, was Hitler's dep-uty leader; Reichsmarshal Goring, who has brought "discipline" to peaceful nations by means of his dive bombers; and Field Marshal Mitch, his ruthless assistant These Nazi leaders enter-tained Lindbergh lavishly. Society col-umns from an English-language news-paper published in Berlin (reproduced at right) tell that "Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh were the guests of the Dentscher Auslandsklub"; that "Gen-eral and Mrs. G5ring gave a luncheon for Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh." But they did more than entertain Lind-bergh. They fed hint propaganda as well as food. They proudly displayed Nazi airpower. Lindbergh listened and looked. He believed what he beard and saw.

On October 18, 1938, the Third Reich paid Lindber

for services rendered. "In the name of the fiihrer," Goring

presented him with a Nazi decoration. The Germim-

American Commerce Bulletin reported: "As a token of the

esteem Germany holds for Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh,

Chancellor Adolf Hitler has bestowed upon him the

Service Cross of the Order of the German Eagle with

Star." The purpose of the decoration, according to the

news story, is "to honor distinguished foreigners who

have deserved well of the Reich." The decoration was

appropriate, for Lindbergh did, indeed, deserve well of

the Reich. He had helped Hitler's armies win a blood.

less victory in Czechoslovakia. He was partly responsible

for the fact that Hitler was given another year to prepare

for war, more territory to furnish men and machines.

Yes, Lindbergh deserved well of the Reich, for he helped

fashion the Munich agreement — an agreement which

will go down in history as a blot on the name of England

and as a major threat to the existence of democratic

civilization. Lindbergh helped to sell , out England. He

was paid, not with thirty pieces of silver, but with a

Nazi medal.

During the late summer of 1938 war clouds hovered

over Europe. The Nazis demanded a part of democratic

Czechoslovakia. The Czechs and Slovaks would fight to

remain free—if England would help. Most Englishmen

wanted to help. But three times Prime Minister Neville

Chamberlain flew to Germany to meet Hitler, and on the

third time, at Munich, he signed an agreement which

dishonored Englishmen. He gave Hitler a green light,

and Nazi soldiers overran all of Czechoslovakia. A year

later English soldiers were being killed by armaments

manufactured in Czechoslovakia.

"I believe it is peace for our time."

ritiapsr4. . "

Why did Neville Chamberlain act against

the wishes of an overwhelming majority of

Englishmen? Charles A. Lindbergh knows

the answer—or at least a part of it. He bad re.

turned to England to repeat Gi-iring's propa-

ganda to members of the Cabinet and of Parliament. Ile said what Goring knew he

would say—that the Nazi air force was Irwin. cible; that German war plane production was

20,000 a year that Germany had a limitless supply of reserve pilots. He implied, if he

did not say so, that England would be over-

whelmed if she dared oppose the Third

Reich. History has proved that Lindbergh

was wrong, but Chamberlain was frightened.

He raised the white flag and permitted the

Nazis to enslave another democracy. Yes, Lindbergh "deserved well of the Reich" a month later when Goring, "in the name of the fiihrer," gave him a decoration studded with swasnicas.

"if we desire peace, we have only to stop risking for-war."

!raw,

Following the example of the Berlin and Rome press, pro-Nazi pub-

lications in the United States have sung Lindbergh's praises, quoted

his speeches, defended him from his critics. The Free American and

Deutscher Weekruf and Beolmcluer, official publication of the Ger-

man.American Bund (reproduced at upper• left), reprints a speech

on the front page and labels it "good American common sense." The Christian Front, action group of the followers of Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, published a bulletin (reproduced above) headed: "Colonel

Lindbergh is a Patriot." At left is reproduced a news story from

Pubticity, an anti-Semitic, pro-Nazi newspaper, which calls Lindbergh

"America's No. 1 Citizen?' Lindbergh's picture is used to decorate

the front page of Silvershirt leader Pelley's. magazine, Roll Call, which

is reproduced on the opposite page. A front page story and an editorial

from Father Coughlin's Social Justice are also reproduced on the

opposite page. The former advocates that Lindbergh become a candi-

date for the Presidency, and the latter compares him, not unfavor•

ably, with the Christ. It is not a mere coincidence that the Nazi

press endorses Lindbergh. They do so because he advocates poli-

cies which, if carried out, will result in an American Hitler.

This war in Europe is not so much a conflict between. right and wrong as it is a conflict between differing concepts of

er are a co represented by the static, legal Wight

' right' of man, and the ' aggressors' by the dynamic, forceful 'right' of nature.

Isit*nsured by

Lindbergh acceptable to all varieties

of Nazis? What are the policies?

Here is the answer—in Lindbergh's

own words. Reproduted on this page and the next are quotations from his magazine articles and speeches. He

defends Nazi aggression as "the right of an able and virile nation to ex-

BritiSh i pand." He insists that "the Germans are as much in the right as the Eng-

becogie lith and French." And while defend-

ing Nazi, aggression, he attempts to

arouse hatred of England by point-

' ing out that an English army invaded the United States more than a cen-

tury ago. Deliberately distorting the

true facts, he charges that England

"has turned against France and Fin-land." When he says, "racial strength

is vital — politics, a luxury," he is

simply echoing Hitler's Hein Kampf. And when he says that "no system of representation can succeed in which the voice of weakness is equal to the voice of strength," he is attacking

the very basis of political democracy. Yes, Lindbergh is acceptable to Nazis

because his words might have been written by Adolf Hitler. '

therefore, when a. strong people becomes

dissatisfied with its position and cannot

attain its ambition through negotiation and agreement, it turns to that primeval

ght' of force as we aid with the

American Indians and with lie:rico, as

England did Africa,India, and Amer-

ice, as the Italians did in Ethiopia, as German is doin today.

The English and French claim they are right in fighting to maintain

their

possessions and their ethics, and the status quo of their last victory. The Germans, on the other hand claim

the

of an able and virile na tion to ex- and influ- er nations

pond l to c"nnf .arms as at er

Another reason for Lindbergh's popularity

among Nazis is the fact that he advocates a

"negotiated peace." To the House Foreign

-Affairs Committee he said: "It would not be

best to are Germany defeated. A negotiated

peace is the best for us." Of course the Nazis

applaud Lindbergh, for they know, even if

he does not, that a "negotiated peace" with

Hitler means a Nazi victory.

HITLER'S RECORD

Here is the record of the man with whom Lindbergh would negotiate. It is a record of broken treaties stained with the blood of his victims. Lindbergh must know it is Hitler's method to lull each chosen victim to sleep by promising peace. Yet Lindbergh pretends to accept the word of this aggressor who now says: "Germany has no territorial possessions in the American continent and has given no occasion whatever for the assumption that she intends to acquire such possessions."

AUSTRIA

"Germany has neither the wish nor the intention to mix in internal Austrian affairs or annex or unite with Austria." —March 7, 1936.

On March 12, 1938, Germany annexed Austria.

CZECHOSLOVAKIA

"We want to live our own life, and we want other peoples to do the same.... We have assured all our immediate neighbors of the integrity of their territory as far as Germany is concerned. That is no hollow phrase; it is our sacred will." — September 26, 1938.

On March 14, 1939, Hitler occupied Czechoslovakia.

POLAND

"We succeeded in arriving at an agreement which for the duration of ten years basically removes the danger of any clash.... We are two peoples. They shall live. One cannot annihilate the other." - – September 26, 1938.

On September 1,1939, Hitler invaded Poland.

DENMARK

"The German Reich and the Kingdom of Denmark will under no circumstances resort to war or any other form of violence against each other." — May 31, 1939,

On April 9, 1940. the Nazi war machine invaded Denmark.

NORWAY

"In the spirit long existing of good German-Norwegian relations the Reich government notifies the Norwegian government that she has no intention, through her measures now or in the future, of infringing upon the territorial integrity or the political independence of the Kingdom of Norway." — April 9, 1940.

On April 9, 1940, the German army invaded Norway.

BELGIUM AND HOLLAND

"We are ready to acknowledge and guarantee these states at all times as inviolable neutral territory." — January 30, 1937.

On May /0, 1940, Hitler's armies invaded the low Countries.

MIME Will NAZIS - LINDBERGIII "In the past we have dealt with a Europe

dominated by England. But whether England

or Germany wins this war, western civilization

will still depend upon two great centers, one

in each hemisphere.. . . We are often told that

if Germany wins this war, cooperation will be

impossible.. .. I reply that cooperation is never

impossible when there is sufficient gain on both

sides."

—Speech in Chicago, August 4, 1940.

"Two worlds are in conflict, two philosophies

of life. One of these worlds must break asunder.

... These are two worlds, and I believe one of

,these worlds must crack up.... Can a dynamic

revolution stop at a sharing of the world? Must

not the struggle continue until the final world

domination of a single nation? My motto is:

Destroy by every means. So-called international

laws will not check me."

—Speech of December 10, 1940.

"No intelligent American can agree with Lindbergh's views on this subject and there is absolutely no excuse for his having raised the issue of anti-Semitism."

SAIU IT 11lin HITLER

"At the moment Jews in certain countries may be fomenting hatred under the pro-tection of a press, of the film, of wireless propaganda, of the theater, of literature, etc., all of which they control."

(speech before the German Reichstag, January 30, 1939)

"All Roosevelt's actions have one purpose and one objective — to precipitate the United States people into a Jewish war and preserve the position of international Jewry" y. (official statement, Berlin,

September 13, 1941)

On the night of September 11th in Des Moines, Iowa, Lindbergh followed the Nazi propaganda line to its inev-itable conclusion—anti-Semitism. He charged the Jews and Roosevelt with "pressing this country toward war." The Jews are a danger to this country, be said, because of "their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio, and our government." Lindbergh was not the first to make these ridiculous and dangerous charges. He was simply repeating a popular piece of Nazi props-

LINDBERGH "The three most important groups who have been pressing this country toward war are the British, the Jewish and the Roosevelt administration . . Their (the Jews') greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio, and our government."

(speech September 11, 1941)

ganda, as indicated in the quotations reprinted above. By fanning the fires of anti-Semitism Lindbergh is following the example of Adolf Hitler who converted a base human prejudice into a political weapon. Hitler used anti-Semitism to establish Nazism in Germany. In this country Lindbergh is using anti-Semitism to establish—what? He calls it "non-inter-vention." Lindbergh's use of the most infamous of all Nazi propaganda tricks was too much for an overwhelming majority of his fellow citizens. Friend and foe alike repudiated him.

See What Prominent Americans Say : "The most un-American talk made in my time by any person of national reputation."—WENDELL L. WILLKIE.

"I greatly regret that Mr. Lindbergh has seen fit to inject anti-Semitism into his campaign against our foreign policy. It strikes at the very -basis of our national unity and, if spread, would certainly be followed by most un-American elements in our population."—ALFRED E. SMITH.

"Charles A. Lindbergh, in a national broadcast, injected religious and racial prejudice into a discussion of our foreign policy. That, I declare, is an inexcusable abuse of the right of freedom of speech which 130,000,000 Americans, re-gardless of their views, will wholly reject."

—THOMAS E. DEWEY.

"Charles A. Lindbergh's intemperate and intolerant address in Des Moines, in which racial and religious prejudices were incited—specifically against the Jewish faith—should arouse universal protest and denunciation."

—Editorial in the newspapers of WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST.

"Colonel Lindbergh's implication seems to be that they (the Jews) must curb themselves or alternately be curbed wher-ever the isolationists consider they have influence, including `our government.' This is ominously close to the proscriptive policies—exclusion of Jews from public employment—ap-plied from the first by the Nazis in Germany."

. —W. W. WAYMACK, editor of the Des Moines Register and Tribune.

"History has proven that the American people will not stand for antipathy based on racial and religions hatred, whether it be directed against Jews, Catholics or other religious groups."

—EDWARD M. GALLIGAN, Chairman of the Long Island chapter of the Knights of Columbus.

A tillbt Ut rliAb1i1111511 Lindbergh has been following the Nazi propaganda line in his speeches and writ-ings for the simple reason that in most matters he agrees with the world's lead-ing Nazi theorists. His statements reproduced on this and the next page are identical in thought, and sometimes identical in phrasing, to those of Adolf Hitler, Sir Oswald Mosley and Lawrence Dennis. Mosley was the leader of the British Union of Fascists and National Socialists until he was imprisoned for attempting to block the British defense effort. Lawrence Dennis is the leading theoretician in the American

Nazi movement. Two of his books, The Coming American Fascism and The Dynamics of War and Revolution, are used as textbooks by American Nazis. As these compari-sons show clearly, either Lindbergh is a spokesman for Nazism, or he is the victim , of the greatest coincidence in the history of the world.

HIS SPEECHES SELL NAZISM ABROAD Wherever you find an Axis propagandist, there you will find reprints of Lindbergh's speeches. That is not surprising, because Lindbergh, in the guise of Americanism, has been preaching doctrines which give aid and comfort to the Axis aggressors. On June 5, 1941, the New York Times correspondent in Chungking re-ported that "excerpts from the isolationis speech by Charles A. Lindbergh in Minne-apolis on May 10 were dropped, along with incendiaries and high-explosive bombs, in the air raid on Chungking last Sunday." Other dispatches reproduced on this page report that copies of Lindbergh's testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee were dis-tributed throughout Nicaragua by the German consulate, that all his public utterances arc "widely reproduced in the pro-German press in South America." As long as Lindbergh con tinues to advocate policies which are helpful to the Axis, he must be looked upon as an Axis propagandist.

By GEORGE GALLUP Director American Institute of

Public Opinion PRINCETON, N. J., May 8—

Widespread controversy has been stirred tip throughout the country by the speeches and writings of Charles A. Lindbergh, who is re-garded by many as the leader of the isolationist movement. To dis-cover how many Americans agree with Lindbergh's views on foreign policy, the American Institute of Public Opinion has completed a na-tion-wide public opinion survey which shows that approximately two-thirds of the voters interviewed who are familiar with Lindbergh's views on foreign policy disagree with those views.

The survey found that approxi-mately six voters in every ten of those interviewed were familiar in general with the views which Lind-bergh has expressed concerning American foreign policy and the war abroad.' Those who showed themselves familiar with his views were asked:

"Do you agree or disagree with what Lindbergh says?"

The results are: Agree Disagree Undecided

24% 63% 13%

The American people do not support Lind-

bergh. In May, 1941, the Gallup Poll revealed

that only 24 per cent of those familiar with

his views said they were in agreement when

asked this simple qUestion: "Do you agree or

disagree with what Lindbergh says?" In short,

the American people have repudiated Lind-

bergh's campaign of defeatism.

• 19

WHEN LINDBERGH SPEAKS During the past two years Lindbergh has given a Iot of unsolicited advice. He has set himself up as "the expert" in all matters. In magazine articles and speeches he has asserted dogmatically that Germany can produce more air-craft than England and the United States, that German planes are superior in quality. While declaring that the United States cannot be invaded, he has insisted that Eng-land is bound for certain defeat. By making such statements as these he has done more than any other person to weaken

the American will to resist Nazism, the will to defend demos racy at all costs. But is Lindbergh qualified to play the role of "the expert?" To be sure, he is a good flier. He once flew across the Atlantic. But other men have flown the Atlantic; One of them, Clarence Chamberlain, said: "Either Lind; bergh doesn't know what he is talking about or he's beett bitten by the Nazi bug." The real experts, the men who ar ' qualified to speak, disagree with Lindbergh.

Can Germany Out-Produce England and the United States?

LINDBERGH—"The claim that the American and British production of aircraft will soon excel German production is not true."

AIRCRAFT YEAR BOOK (published by the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce)—"From all accounts, and they are from fairly reliable sources, the British combat plane production combined with the American output is superior to Germany's in those highly important cate-gories such as fast pursuits, long-range and medium bombers and patrol flying boats."

F. B. RENTSCHLER (chairman of the board of United Aircraft Corporation)—"There is no question in my mind that—given the, necessary material—we -can not only match the entire production of continental Europe but exceed it. There is -almost no limit to -what we- Can I:moth:ice here."

AMERICAN MACHINIST—"World production of planes, according to best available estimates, is around 8,000 planes a month, divided thus: Germany, 2,500; Russia, 2,000; Britain, 1,800; United States, 1,500; Japan, 300; Italy, none except parts, and small amounts in British Dominions and non-German Europe."

Can the United States Be Invaded?

LINDBERGH—"I do not believe there is any danger of an invasion of this continent, either by sea or by air, as long as we maintain an army, navy and air force of reasonable size and in modern condition, and provided we establish the bases essential for defense."

CLARENCE CHAMBERLAIN (trans-Atlantic flyer)—"Either Lindbergh doesn't know what he is talking about or he's been bitten by the Nazi bug. . . . The way an invasion could be accom-plished would be for us to sit back and let the British fleet go under. Then the Japanese fleet could keep our Pacific fleet so busy that the combined German, Italian and remnants of the British and French fleets could overcome our Atlantic fleet. With our Atlantic fleet out of the way, Germany could establish bases in Canada, which is close enough for effective bombing."

MAJOR ALEXANDER DE SEVERSKY—"I contend that those who deny the practical possi-bility of an eventual air attack on America are lulling the American people into a false sense of safety as dangerous as the `Maginot Line mentality'."

20

THE EXPERTS DISAGREE Can England Win?

LINDBERGH—"It is now obvious that England is losing the war. I believe this is realized even by the British government."

MAJOR ALEXANDER DE SEVERSKY—"All sentiment aside, there seems to me no valid excuse for a defeatist attitude in relation to Britain's prospects in the war. I am convinced not merely that it has a chance of winning but that, given the full material backing of the United States, it has only a minor chance of not winning."

GENERAL GEORGE C. MARSHALL (Chief of Staff, United States Army)—When asked, "Do you believe that Great Britain with the help of the United States could whip Germany?" he replied: "Yes."

Should We Aid Britain?

LINDBERGH—"We must stop sending most of our modern fighting planes abroad."

MAJOR ALEXANDER DE SEVERSKY—"Our over-all task of preparing for the future air war is at this state a matter of audacious designing, experimenting, planning. None of that, of course, is handicapped by the mass production for Britain; on the contrary, that production serves as a proving ground for creative aeronautical effort. In the act of equipping the British we shall be laying the foundation for our own air supremacy."

Are Nmerican Planes Good Enough?

LINDBERGH—"When our own government awoke to the fact that we had fallen seriously behind Europe in military aviation, they made a desperate attempt to improve the performance of American fighting planes without taking the time to design and build completely new types. The result has not been very satisfactory. We put liquid-cooled engines in planes that had been designed for air-cooled engines. We began mass production with untried types. .. . Up to date we have not accomplished our objective.. .. The performance of some of our vital types of service aircraft (is) inadequate."

GENERAL GEORGE H. BRETT (head of the U. S. Air Corps)—"So far as production is con-cerned, Lindbergh knows nothing. He has not kept himself informed on that score. As regards performance his ideas are based entirely on his knowledge of two years ago. Certain of his state-ments are half-truths. We did put liquid cooled engines in the P-40's that were originally designed for air-cooled radial engines, but that is only part of the story. These planes were redesigned for the new type engine, and supplied an important link in developing newer and better planes. Yes, we ordered 30 of the B-24's before we ever saw them, before Martin even built one. It's one of the best planes we have, it can outrun any pursuit plane now fighting in Europe. Little more than a year ago we were handed the job of building a force of around 5,500 planes into 50,000. Naturally we couldn't do things the old, slow way."

Can We Do Business With Hitler?

LINDBERGH—"I believe this nation is well able to take care of itself economically . . ."

DOUGLAS MILLER (former United States Commercial Attache in Berlin)="Totalitarian trade methods are political and military in purpose. Mere economic considerations carry no weight. It has been proved impossible to have pure business relations with the Nazis."

I LINDBERGH THE VOICE OF THE AFC

Lindbergh is the voice of the America First Committee.

The America First Committee has become the voice of

all who are working toward a Hitler victory. Although the

Committee was formed by sincere but misguided Americans

who believe in the policies of isolationism and appeasement,

it soon became the rallying ground for all pro-Axis forces

in the United States. America's little Hiders and their fol-

lowers flocked to the Committee because it was doing their

work for them—sabotaging all-out aid to Britain; sowing

the seeds of defeatism; creating internal strife and disseni

sion. The America First Committee has become a real threat

to American democracy because its membership is honey-

combed with Nazis, Fascists, Bundists, Coughlinites and

other brands of Hitler sympathizers. Today the American

people are threatened by an integrated, unified Nazism which

hides behind the deceptive banner of an organization call•

ing itself America First. Lindbergh has become the voice

of American Nazism.

IT HAPPENED IN NEW YORK Although a few leaders of the America First Committee at one time tried to convince the people that they do not want the support of anti-democratic organizations, the Nazis have paid no attention. They attended Committee rallies in such num-bers that they frequently are able to dominate the audiences. The news story reproduced below is a reporter's account of a typical rally—the one at Mecca Temple, New York--City. Ac-cording to the reporter, Joe McWilliams, filltrer of the Ameri-can Destiny Party, ordered his Nazi followers to attend. "As long as they're half right," McWilliams said of the America Firsters, "it's all right with me." The Nazis turned out in full force. Following the instructions of their "leader," they shouted "The Jews, the Jews" and "Morgenthan and Cohen." When the rally was finished, "McWilliams held an informal recep- tion at the exit of the temple. . . A long file of followers, mostly from the galleries, shook his hand and in turn were thanked for attending."

AN INVITATION TO ANTI-SEMITES Not all leaders of the America First Committee have repudi-

ated the Nazis. As shown in the "Letters" column of Social

Justice, reproduced at the right, two officers of the Com-mittee have expressed a desire to cooperate with Father

Coughlin's pro-Nazi followers. Gen. Robert E. Wood, Acting National Chairman of the Committee, made this appeal to a Coughlinite: have not rejected the Christian Social

Justice movement. I welcome their support in our common objective—preventing this country from getting into war.'

And Lidu Wheeler, Treasurer of the Washington chapter

of the Committee and wife of Committee spokesman, Senator

Burton K. Wheeler, wrote to a Coughlinite that "there never has been any discrimination against Father Coughlin's

followers." The Nazis no longer have to crash the party; they have been invited.

Peace The situation becomes extremely critical for Paltain. And

once again whispers of corning peace offensives are heard.

There seems little doubt that Hitler would make peace with

Britain if possible. There is no doubt that there is a growing

group in England which feels the same way. Also here in

America demands for peace are heard. But what is it that

makes peace, so far as America is concerned, so difficult? The

answer to this is one of the gravest facts in this whole war

situation.

Let.' us assume that Britaba could make peace with Ger-

many on the basis of keeping her navy and most of her

empire. The foreign groups in America —Dutch, Poles

Danes and other continental propagaiaelists here—would set

the invasion of Germany.

Not only have leaders of the America First Committee invited the support of the pro-Nazi Coughlinites but, like all Nazi propagandists, they have begun to exploit the base prejudice of anti-Semitism. In the July 12th issue of the Committee's official publication, America First Bulletin, an editorial writer charged that "a powerful group—the most

powerful of all—the refugee Germane and their fellow racial and religious brethren" stand in the way of peace. This is

the kind of political anti-Semitism which paved the way

for a Nazi triumph in Germany. it is the kind of statement which is to be found today in every pro-Nazi publication in the -United States.

gwopeon

For years the slogan of the British Union of Foe.

elate and National Socialists--"Britain Firer"—was

dinned in the ears of Englishmen. It appeared on

the masthead of each issue of the Fascia news-

paper, Action. It was the subject of Mosley's most

important speech. Read the beginning of that

speech, reproduced at the left. Mosley said: "This

is a demonstration of 'Britain First' and, therefore,

is a demonstration of world peace." That is what

Lindbergh, spokesman for the America First Com-

mittee, says today. Mosley said he wanted peace,

but added: "If any country in the world attacks

-Britain or threatens to attack Britain. then every

single member of this great audience and of Brit-

ish Union would fight for Britain.' Lindbergh says

he wants peace, and adds, "If it came to an attack

on this country, I.would be for war all the way..

War did come to Britain. The Nazis attacked. Bat

Mosley did not conic to Britain's aid, He and his

organization, whose slogan was "Britain Firer,' ao

tempted to sabotage defense efforts. In self•defenae

England was forced to imprison Motley and many

of his followers. Lindbergh has not been put to the

tear. But the American people will be wise to re.

member the exa mple of England and "Britain First."

Dear M

r. Lindbergh:

On

the b

asis of the evid

ence p

resented

in th

is pam

ph

let we are forced

to

believe that you accept Hitler's "N

ew O

rder" as the future pattern of the world.

Moreover, the evidence indicates that you are attem

pting to extend the "New

Order" to the U

nited States. If it is n

ot true th

at you are w

orkin

g toward

a Hitlerized

world

, you are

the victim

of the m

ost gigantic coin

ciden

ce in th

e history of th

e world

, for in

your speeches and writings you have repeated, alm

ost word for w

ord, the Nazi

propaganda line.

So great has been the coincidence, if it is coincidence, that you have fooled

a majority of A

merican N

azis. They look upon you as their "leader."

If you are the victim of a coincidence, and if you w

ish to clear up the mat-

ter, once and for all, you must do these things:

1.

Retu

rn you

Disa

ave declared

you to b

e their "

leader."

5. In

sist that th

from the pro-N

8. R

eaffirm your faith in dem

In ord

you are in

r. Lindbergh, your silence w

ill testify that

you are, indeed, a disciple of Hitlerism
