Page 26 {vontinued rrom.” 36 1) This was the clue for ith Nazi sympathizers wer spiings Ime diately, plans were’launched to use che General, who had spoke so approvingly of Na- tional Socialism and Fascism, as the nucleus around whom would rally all the various groups which were then operating independently of each other. Moseley is powerful enough, it was argued, to force all the jealous, little, would-be Fuhrers to give up their own claims to leadership. Blueprints were drawn up for the unification. Important personages, whose names are well known in the United States, were to be pillars of the movement. Some were consulted, others were in complete ignorance of the plote Congress- man Martin Dies himself was to be one of the mainstays, but when Dies demon- strated his disinclination to cooperate by having Moseley subpoenaed to appear before his Committee, Mra. Ieslie Fry, one of the originators of the plot, “spilled the beans” and revealed the entire scheme in the July, 1939, issue of the "Christian Free Press", organ of the "Militant Christian Patriots". Mrse Fry's artiole, covering three and a half pages and captioned "Sinister Farce = The Hellish Conspiracy", gave all the details of the scheme. The most {mportant paragraphs, containing the names of the men who were to head the movement under Moseley's generalship, are reproduced on page 2. The majority of these names are known as those of well known Nazi agitators. The Bundits, of course, fell in line with the campaign and circulated win- dow stickers (illustration on page 2) advocating the election of Moseley to the Presidency of the United States. At the same time, the Deutscher Weokruf und Beobachter, official organ of the Bund, on December 22, 1938, declared in a leading front-page story that Moseley was THE man of the hour, captioning the article (illustration on page 2): "General Moseley vs. War Makers - Scores Baruch's Warnings of War as a Crime". = Almost two and a half years later, on May 1, 1941 to be exact, the Deut- Scher Weckruf und Seobachter once again announced (Lllustration on page 3) that a new "Man on Horseback” had arisen: Charles A. Lindberghl As though sensing with clairvoyant powers, a year previous (on July l, 1940), Father Coughlin's "Social Justice” appeared on the stands with an ar~ ticle (illustration on page 3) in almost an exact parallel to the "Moseley for President" drive. This article urged the election of Charles A. Lindbergh as Vice President, the Presidency being tendered to Wendell Le Willkie, who was at that time still a question mark in the eyes of all Nazi sympathizers. Los Angeles Bundits went even further. They wanted to see the flying Col- onel ensconced in the White House. On September 10, 1940, a mass meeting (11= lustration on page 3) was held at the Embassy Auditorium in Los Angeles, under the auspices of the "True Americans", headed by Harold A. Sparling, subversive ist par excellence. In his speech, Sparifng erfed for the drafting of Lind bergh for the Presidency and Senator Burton FE. Wheeler for the Vice-Presidency As if to tie together attempta of former years and those of the present, Pelley, in his "Roli-Call" of April 14, 1941, named Lindbergh with Henry Ford, Senator Wheeler and General Moseley as the new leaders of the nation “(illus-~ tration on page 3), gathering together in a neat bundle the Four Horsemen of the present Apocalypse. - The question today, in view of the endeavors being made to unite under Lindbergh, resolves itself into whether Lindbergh will follor the honorable example set by General Butler, or allow himself to become the Mihrer of the foes of Democracy by following in the footsteps of General Moseley. Sutler refused to be knighted a traitor; Moseley's actions speak for themselves. Does the Lone Eagle yearn to become a Pegasus? KRERKAEKEKREKEEEREKEKEKE
