~a
Colonel Lindberg_ says "American Meddling.* It seem to me
America has not seddled enough against Aggressors. But America
has proven to herself that she could not come forward as a
great united powerful nation. As inexperienced children who
atand and goze — watching their parent oountries die -
indecisive children, who turn away from plunder and aurder. —
At least thru watching this dreadful catastrophy America is
only now vaguely realising her own wealmess, her own unpreparedness.
I saw the Englishmen leaving for the front unequipped mentally
and physically, - a nation that wanted to live peacefully in
little houses with gardens, and forget war ever existed. What
happened to the English Intelligence Department and Scotland
Yard js beyond comprehension. Stanley Baldwin is greatly
responsible for Great Britain's unpreparedness.
In the sumaer of 1933 I visited Greece and Yugo Slavia.
There motoring thru small remote vwillayes - the children giving
Nazi salutes. 1 found out in these centers there was a German
physical culture instructor, giving an hour of exercises and m
hour of lecture,
A German maid I had in London iast sumaor told me it was
compulsory in Germany for men, women and children to attend
daily one hour of exercises end a hour of. propaganda lectures
for mind training. -~--- The mental training of our
America oitisens ja most important as a part of preparedness
against uprisings and revolutions that may take plece, if Germany
wins this War. Preparedness against mental confusion ~ indecisiveness
and panic, preparedness for the unthinking American who 3s infiuended
.and contaminated by being thrown in contact with foreign agents or
the hermless commercial traveller. Complete organisation and training
for the United States to think straight and clearly should take
place, Perhaps two or three tines a week a not too long national
letter could be sent and read at all clubs, meetings, orgenizations,
etc. If thie 4s impractical then the radio should be brought to use.
The people to listen 8 or 10 minutes each evening for a nation-
wide broadcast by the Government, told to watch for un-Aneric
propaganda, and only when one 1s certain it shculd be reported” ——
If Germany wins the war ~ this country should not be totelly frep
until she ia strong enough to find complete unison. To know
and understand that a3 citizens of this U.S.A. there will be no
allowance for internal troubles,
