With regarc to the america First Committee, Lindbergh was said to heve urged
the discontinuance of tne Committee although it wae said thet he had woted
fcr the continuance of the Comnittee at ax earlier meeting held in Chicago.
Ee was seid to have changed his mind with regard to the continuance ef the
Tomnittee because of the disunity which existed within ite ranks.
With reference to the above referred to meeting, another conficential
source edvised that two persons who were allegedly present et-that meeting
atated that Lin¢cbergh made auhetontialig the folloving remarkea:
*Thore ie only one danger in the world - that is the yellow danger. !
Chine end Japan are really bound together agairnet the white race. There
eouis oniy have bean one efficient weapon againrt this alliance, under-
neeth the surface, Germany itself could have been this weapon. ‘The ideal |
set-up would heave beea to heve head Gerrceny take over Polani and Eu--ia,
in collabor:tion with the EFritish, as bloc against the yellow people and
bolshevism. But instead, the British and the fools in Washington had to
intarfera. The British envied the Germsre ond wantad to role tha world
forevar. britain is the real cause of all the trouble in the world today.
"Of course, America First cannot be active right now. But it
shouli kee; on the alert and wien the large alasing lists and losses are
publisced the Anorican people will realirce how much they have been be-
trared by the British and the Administration. Then America Piret can
be a political force again. We must be quiet a while and await the tine
for ective functionine, There may be a time soor when we can advocate a
megoviates rence."
In this connection, it is interesting to note that the Readers Mgest
