Of Hitler's Pet Marshal of Prance it is reported that, after his warning to the French peo¬ ple to cease their obstruction of his Vlchy-ous collaboration with Hitler, he felt that he had earn¬ ed his place In Valhalla and went up to take his seat among the Norse heroes . .. Upon reach¬ ing the Nazi heaven, however, he was amazed to find the gate¬ keeper l)arring his way ...

WASHINGTON (JPSI — The full authority of the America Mrs! Commiitee was placed un- iiualifierlly behind the anti- Romitif speech made hy Charles A Lindbergh at Des Moines in a slalement issuerl from Chicago by the Committee, which denied Ihat Ihe former flier was anti- Semllif but insisted that "in- lorveniionists" had injected the racial issurv
That responsible American public opinion did not share Americ.T First's white-wash of ils blonde hero was reflected in 'the repudiation of Lindbergh hy two such rliametrically op¬ posite groups as the Socialist I'ariy anrl Ihe Chicago Tribune. .Approval or rejection of the Linribcrgh Des Moines address bec.'imr' the touchstone of the Ameriran spirit in Ihe eyes of Ihe  nation.
The America First statement, which borr' nn signatures and whicli is regarded as placing its members in the category of avowed anIi-Semiles, was issued without a poll of America Firsi's members, althought one had iK.'r-n promised. It read: ¦i'lviT since the nation-wide ef¬ fort to keep America out of war began Ihe interventionists have sdiighi tn hide the real Issue by Hinging false charges at the Amcrit-a First Committee and at every leader who has spoken out .'igainst our entry into the I'luropeiin conflict. The present attaik on Colonel Lindbergh is miM-ely another case in point.
"Colonel Lindbergh and his fi'llow-memhers of the America l-'irst Committee are not anti- .Si'mitir:. We rleplore the Injec- lion nf the race issue into the liisi'ussion nf war or peace. It is Ihe interventionists who have rlone this.
America First, on the other hanil, bas invited men and uomen of every race, religion anil national origin to join this committee, provided only that Ihey are patriotic citizens who put the interests of their coun¬ try ahead of any other nation. We repeat that invilation.
"At least 80 per cent of the American people oppo.se our en¬ try into the war. The America ?'lrst Commlltee has supplied to these millions of citizens a lead¬ ership which has thus far help¬ ed to avert disaster. Conse- riuently, the aim of the war makers is to destroy the Amer- ic~a First Committee.
•Behind a smoke screen of groundless charges this nation is being led to war in violation of the Constitution of the United States.
"There Is but one real issue _ the Issue of war. From this issue we will not be diverted. We will carry on the fight tmtll it is won."
By stressing again in thl« statement that there are those who would sacrifice their cpun try for olher Interests, the Com¬ mittee repeated Lindtergha in¬ itial charge.
