CAN U.S.A. KEEP OUT ?
LINDBERGH’S WARNING MRS. ROOSEVELT SPEAKS (Bipf,. Tel. Copyright— United Press Assn.) (Reed Sept. 18, !) a.m.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 16. Colonel Lindbergh, in a nation-wide broadcast yesterday, pleaded that the United States should rtay out of the European war. He warned his listeners that entrance by American democracy would mean the loss of several million lives. “It would be madness to send soldiers to be killed similarly as in the Great War,” he said. “If the United States entered Europe’s quarrels in war time, it must stay in them in peace time.
“If war prostrates Europe,” said the famous airman, “Western civilisation’s greatest hope lies in a strong America.”
Mrs. Roosevelt, wife of the President, in a statement to the press, said: “The minute wars begin they spread. Nobody knows whether this country can keep out.” She added that the problems involved must be met by the world as a whole and not judt by the people who fight in the war.
