Senator Wheeler's radio attack upon our already
settled policy of all-out aid for Britain, which he
disguised as an anti-war movement, was synchro-
nized with a magazine article by Colonel Lindbergh §?£t>ove.
. 3 i 34 Blaze of fire
published on the same day.
Since our policv has been settled through demo
cratic processes by the Congress, with the privilege
of full debate allowed the opposition, and since that
policy has been written into law in the lease-lend
bill, continued opposition by the isolationists group
smacks of intent to obstruct. Do not Senator Wheeler
and Colonel Lindbergh recognize the fundamental
proposition that the will of the majority must prevail
in a democracy and that tf e minority must abide by
that will when it has been expressed^ Their position
of opposition to our national policy becomes more
indefensible since our Nation is confronted with a
grave emergency.
Colonel Lindbergh's argument, closely similor to
those offered by Hitler himself, was that France was
unprepared and failed, that Britain is unprepared
and will fail, and that the United States also is un-
prepared and would "suffer defeat and humiliation"
if it should enter the European war. He contended
that the United States needs several years for ade-
quate rearmament.
Possibly, time may bear out Colonel Lindbergh's
: contentions which are, however, rejected by an over-
whelming majority of the American people France
failed, not merely because of military unpreparedness
but primarily because of internal dissension, such as
the isolationists now seek to foment in America.
The prediction of Britain's defeat, jointly made by
Hitler and Lindbergh, is premature, certainly not
promised by developments to date, Colonel Lind-
bergh, with obvious bias, cloaked as the opinion of
a dispassionate observer, argued that Britain had lost
every major contest to date and had misled the United I
States by false claims of victories. Colonel Lindbergh ,,V(>r inr(, h<? ;irst v.,lk0(i t)iiwn nu,,,h;mt shippitm m Anwril,m

which are issued by the Nazi propaganda ministry.
His proposal is that the United States retire from
the world scene into isolation "on this continent
which is impregnable to attack" and build up our
home defenses. Against what power or powers does
Colonel Lindbergh think we must defend ourselves?
He should answer that question. It L highly pertinent
to the issue,

The pilot, identity not disclosed,
was quoted by the air ministry as
saying he got into the barrage!
when he tried to engage a Nazi
lighter at 7,000 feel.
"The guns beiow suddenly op-
ened up and I was caught In the
barrage," he said. "Shells there
seemed to be hundreds ol them--
