(This is a case of the headline not supported by the report. While the first paragraph supports the headline, the last is closer to the truth.)

(Apparently Mr. Lindbergh had forgotten that a "negotiated peace" is what got the world into this position to begin with. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain negotiated with Hitler, and upon his return to England on Sept. 30, 1938, famously waved a piece of paper in the air, signed by himself and Adolf Hitler, later that day he would declare that it represented "peace for our time." Less than a year later, on Sept. 1, 1939, Hitler invaded Poland and two day later Britain declared war on Germany. So much for peace for our time.
[See report on Chamberlain's speech here.]

Today, this is not only ironic, but demonstrates how dangerous it is to negotiate with a dictator. This may be a forgotten fact, but Chamberlain went to meet with Hitler to stop him from invading Czechoslovakia. Over the course of a few days, Chamberlain, and others, agreed to allow Hitler to make a minor incursion into Czechoslovakia and take control of the Sudetenland. But it did not stop there, Hitler's minor incursion turned into a full-scale invasion of the whole country in March of 1939. The dictator took advantage of the weakness of Chamberlain, thus emboldening Hitler, which would lead to the invasion of Poland a few months later.

I point this out only because the world is currently facing a similar situation. Vladimir Putin, the Russian president has massed tens of thousands of troops with the supporting equipment on the Ukrainian border. He is making the same claims that Hitler did before he invaded Czechoslovakia, saying that much of the population speak Russian and are of Russian descent. He is also reported to have saboteurs inside Ukraine planning to create false narratives and even make attacks against Russians, exactly like Hitler did with Czechoslovakia and Poland. This is a carbon copy of how Hitler moved against Czechoslovakia and Poland. While there has been no so-called "piece of paper" with Putin's signature on it, there are currently negotiations going on with the Russians.

The Germans in 1940 heard what Lindbergh said and used it for propaganda. [See "Nasis Hail Lindbergh For Fighting British Aid" in column 1 of The Evening Star of Jan. 24, 1941.]

There is no doubt that in 2022 Vladimir Putin heard the following.

In a monumental blunder, which I hope will not signal the green light for the Russians to invade Ukraine, the current president of the United States, Joe Biden, said on Sept. 19, 2022, when asked a question about the situation in Ukraine, the following;

"Were in a situation where, uh, Vladimir Putin, uh, is about to, uh, we've had very frank discussions, uh, Vladimir Putin and I and uh, the idea that NATO is not going to be united I don't buy. I've spoken to every major NATO leader, we've had the NATO Russian summit, we've had other, the OSCE has met etc. And so, I think what you're gonna see is that Russia will be held accountable, if it invades, and it depends on what it does. It's one thing if it's a "minor incursion" and then we end up having to fight about what to do and not do etc."
[See video clip here.]

It's not only that he said "minor incursion" it's that he went on to explain that after the incursion we would have to "fight about what to do and not do" that is the problem. Chamberlain met with Hitler to tell him what the British would not do if he invaded the Sudetenland, Biden is telegraphing to Putin that after he invades, we will work out what to do. Just hearing Biden say what he did under these circumstances, was chilling. It has been reported today that the U.S. government is telling its diplomats and other U.S. citizens to evacuate from Ukraine. Let us hope that this blunder will not bring the world to the edge of war again.)

(Note in the report at top left "No Air Danger Lindy Says" Lindbergh says something in response to statements made earlier by U.S. officials, including the Secretary of War Henry Stimson. Lindbergh said:

"An air invasion across the ocean is, I believe, absolutely impossible at this time or in any predictable future."

In this instance, Lindbergh was completely correct.)
