from N1lgnt lor Froecdom, nce 1270 Sixth Avenue, Room 309 FL HR Peter Cusick, Exce. Secy. CIrcle 6-4250 FOR A. M. RELEASE... THE FOLLOWING EDITORIAL APPEARED IN THE SAN FRLNCISCO CHRONICLE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18TH: The demand on General Robert E. Wood, the Chicego mail order magnate who he@ds the Anerica First Committee thet the com- mittes ropudiate Chariss BR. Lindbergh for His Hitlerisn ettack on the Jews, knocksat the wrong door. It is the Anerica First Committee thet should be repudiated. The American people should do thet emphatically and completely. Lindbergh's attack was vicious but the cormittes is the primary offender, with Lindbergh only ea tcol for its purpeses. We do net doubt that the ren running the Americe First subver- sive propaganda machine knew that Lindbergh was going to say before Lindbergh know it himself. The Lindbergh attack was an America First triel bellcon mere than a personal slip by Lindbergh. Sooner cr inter this pet Fascist prejudice hed to be set in operation. Lirdberch tested the wind end drew the fire. In this capacity he wes risked #3 a sacrifice, perhaps not a very vital one with his elrondy tarnished hero's crown. To propose thet the cormittee repudiate its messenger for the message he cerried is to ask repudistion cf a cardinal point in the program of Fescisr: that ls being so assiduously pursued. Hitler has forced 1t on France, tmposed it on Italy, where Jews are so marged they are clmcst Andistinguishable. It 1s proclaired even in Japan, where thers ere no Jews. Prejudice and disunity are essentisl tc a Feseist putsch. It is not necessery thet the promoters should wish to become vassels of Hitler on the contrery. - We do not doubt thet 41n the countries split end taken by Hitler the domestic Nezis hoped rather te teke cver as big shots in their own rite, we would not question that Mussolini heted Hitler from the stert. He certainly never showed any Signs of wanting to be chained to the chariot whesl where he new finds himself. Generel Wood, Senator Wheeler, Senator Nye, Lindborgh - 611 the way down the Anerics First list of leaders and stecres - cen clnim sincerity. We do not challenge their sincerity. But sincerity te whet? Does anyone question that Hitler is sincerely sold on the tdea thet the worlds neck should be under his heel. Fascists in imerice and elsewhere mey sincorely detcst Hitler but they hate sonothing else worse. They do not all necessarily hate the sane things. They hate the British, they hate Roosevelt, the Jews, Capital, Leber. Thoy hate some of these or other things more then they detest Hitler. Their hate sené them gn the poth that inevitably londs to Hitler. a Yh, 309 7” ERREGH ALL INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN ME sole SYS IRE/I6 A —
