"GASHINGTON FOST* JUNE 9, 1941 is it not time for Federal author- ities, notably the FBI, to take de- cisive action in regard to Mr. Charles Lindbergh? . The right of free speech has in no way been abrogated by the Presi- dent's Proclamation of a Declara- tion of Unlimited Emergency, snd - yet his action was a clear call that . this is too critical a period for the luxury of internal dissension All the arguments pro and con have been debated and aired for many months and it is no secret where the majority opinion lies. Lindbergh has taken one step past his privilege of free speech and stepped openly and flagrantly into the realm of treason and political chicanery.
