‘LINDBERGH BAL

ON AIDING BRITISH

Hopes Neither Side Wins, He Says as He Calls for Negotiated Peace. (Continued from Page One)

Lindbergh. never had = expressed sympathy for either side. " “It would be better for us if the war ends without a conclusive victory,” Lindbergh said. “It would not be best to see Germany defeated. A negotiated peace is the best for us. I have sympathy

for the peoples of both sides, and] -

not with their aims.” Rep. Johnson repeated his question, asking which side’s victory would be better. Col. Lindbergh replied tersely: “Neither.” This answer brotigiet applause.

Scoffs at Invasion Talk

“The main problem here,” said Rep. Charles A. Eaton (R. N. J.), “is the pending bill, ostensibly to aid England. Do you favor it?” “I am opposed to it,” said Lindbergh. “I'm opposed for two reasons: First, it is one more step away from democracy. Second, it is one step closer to war and I don’t know how many more steps. we can take and still be short of war.” In his prepared statement Col. Lindbergh said that he did not believe that the United States need fear invasion by air or sea as long as it maintained an Army, Navy and air force of “reasonable size.” Col. Lindbergh said that neutrality law revision brought the nation closer to war, added to bloodshed abroad and will not have much effect on the outcome. “Would you drop all aid to England now and let the devil take the hindmost?” Rep. Eaton asked. “I don’t believe we can justfy dropping a position already taken,” Col. Lindbergh said.

Favors Isolation Policy

“What steps should we take to get a negotiated peace?” “I’m not prepared to say. The first step would be to create in our people a desire for peace in Europe.” Rep. Eaton said the Axis powers proposed to create a new world order by force and “place one: race, theirs,” in control so that “we will be slaves for them.” “Under those circumstances,” he asked, “can we begin negotiations for peace unless Mr. Hitler has a change of mind, if he ever does?” “I believe we are strong enough to maintain our way of life regardless of what the attitude is on the other side,” Col. Lindbergh said. “I don’t believe we are strong enough to impose it on Europe and Asia.” He added he was “worried very little” about the economic results if Britain falls. ;

Points to Nazi Air Power

“I believe this nation and this hemisphere are well able to take care of ourselves economically and militarily.” Col. Lindbergh said his estimate that Germany had facilities in 1938 for building 20,000 planes of all types a year “probably has been jincreased several fold since then.” “Do you think,” asked Rep. John Kee (D. W. Va.), “that this country should have the facilities to produc as many planes as any other country?” “No, sir,” said Lindbergh. unless we plan to invade them.” He added that German planes are not being built now for an “attempted invasion” of the Western Hemisphere. He advocated air bases as far south as the Amazon Valley. “South American offers a problem of defense,” he said, “but I don’t believe the situation is a serious danger.” Audience ‘Laughs

Rep. Kee cited a magazine article . by Dorothy Thomson asserting shat “Col. Lindbergh is the spokesman for a group” which believes British collapse imminent and that we must co-operate with the new European order. He asked Col. Lindbergh if it were true, “No sir,” he replied. “I'm not a spokesman for any group. I be-

“Not

Europe regardless who is dom: ‘nant there.” “If Hitler wins, we will have to come to some agresment’ with him?” “In somewhat the sare sens: that we have with Russia.” The audience laughed, ‘He advocated that: tne Hation “construct as rapidly #s possible a total air force of about [0,000 thoroughly modern fighting planes plus reserves.” Such & number, he said, would be “adequate to insure American security regardless of the outcome of the present Buripesn war.”

Discounts Blow Via Alasks

{He strongly discounted the possibility of air invasion by way of either Alaska or Greenland, but proposed that we “wage war with all of our resources” if an invasion of Alaska ‘or any other portion of America were attempted. Col. Lindbergh opened the last of two days of opposition testiinony,

close its hearing Saturday |after hearing one day of rebuttal by Adrainistration supporters. i

Senate Hearings Monday

Committee has appointed a! fiveman subcommittee | headed by Chairman Walter F, Georze to arrange hearings to begin Mgnday. The group met with| Secretery of State Cordell Hull and three other Cabinet members wha testified last week, and indicated “that Mr. Hull would open tke Administrgtion’s case before the Senate. : Wendell L. Willkie, who has |given qualified indorsement to the Britishaid bill, may be called by the Senate Committee. Senator Frederick VanNuys (D. Ind.) proposed that he be called after his return from London. Mr. Willkie plans a two-weeks’ stay. Mr. Willkie was prevented from appearing at House | hearings because previous arrangements for the trip interefered with the Committee’s schedule. Senator VanNuys suggested also that Harry L. Hopkins, now in London as President Roosevelt's personal represeriative, be called when he returns.

VanNuys Sympathetic

Mr. VanNuys, who so far has been uncommitted orn the bill, said he could be classed as “generally favorable when the measure is properly drawn.” That gave the Administration 1% supporters on the 23-member Senate Foreign Relations Committee. | Nine oppose the bill and one, Senator Wallace M. White (R. Me.], still is undecided. The House Conmimittee stands 15 for the bill, nine against, and one undecided.

Where Hitler Stands Now

ances — but only technical experts for all that. Among these men around Hitler there is only one who is strong and able enough in his own right to govern ‘Germany for gny considerable length of time under anything like present circumstances — Hermann Goering. It is extremely doubtful that anyone else could do so in the long run. Any number of men could govern a Germany stabilized in its pre-war bases. But Germany cannot be stabilized on its pre-war bases, or anything like those bases. The die was cast the day the war began, and now Germany will either become a world power—as Hitler himself wrote 16 years ago—or it will be prostrated jor at least a generation. And such is the, nature of National socialism, arid such is the character of the tesiing period, that Hermann Goering is probably the only other-man who could rule the Reich in his own right now. This does not ngcessarily mean,

| however, that if Hiller and Goering

should disappear, (Germany would break down within a matter of months. For there is another possibility:

Realizing that they would have to

It is extremely difficult to see how any other man oy group of men could teke over Germany and run it under anything like present circumstarices. Least of all can any effective political initiative be expected from the generals. The officer corps probably would be able to step in and take over Germany if the Nazis should be destroyed by some other means, but it will not undertake any serious action to cestroy the Nazis itself.

In the first place, the loyalty of most: of the generals to the regime is adequate, even If not wildly enthusiastic. But even apart from that, the generals are completely dominated by Hitler and the party. They do what they are told. They do it exactly as| they are told, whether they believe in it or not. Even in military matters the generals defer to Hitler and the party. The Germans were| afraid of the big offensive on the Western Front in May, for example. If the decision had been left to them as to whether the offensive would be undertaken or not, it probably never would have been tried. But Hitler. told them to do if, and they iid it. - Again, the rape of Poland is being carried out by the party in opposition to the wishes of most of the generals who know what is going on in Poland—and most of them do not—and in spite of the fact that Poland is occupiec. enemy territory and therefore is entitled to definite rights which the armed forces are responsible for eriorcing. Even in tactical matters, Hitler casts the deciding vote. “ He has his own “personal gerjeral staff,” independent of the regular High Command and General Staff, he works out his own plans with this personal staff, and he uses these plans of his own to check and often to over-

‘|ride the plans worked out by the

regular offices in charge of these | tasks. Hitler's own staff is headed by "| Generals Jodel and Warlimont of whom most of the world never heard but who, 4s Hitler's most trusted military advisers, are vastly more important than men like Wilhelm von Keitel, chief of the High Command of the armed forces, Wal-ter-von Brauchitsch, commander-in-chief of the army, and Grand Admiral Erich Raecier, chief.of the navy. Even men like these often actually don’t know what Hitler's military plans are until the last possible moment. Hitler had created a system for keeping secrets which is as fantastic as an opium dream and he usse it on his own closest advisers as well as on the outside world. Officers of the rank of major general are often kept busy at work

hang together or be hanged separately, the secondary leaders of the party might be able to agree among themselves on a compromise

“fuehrer,” a man who was not strong enough to rule the Reich in his own right, but behind whom the warring leaders and factions could range themselves to maintain at least a semblance of outward unity and maintain themselves in power. If this should happen, the compromise candidate probably would be Rudolph Hess, now deputy leader of the party. Hess has the advantage of being Hitler's own selection as second in the line of succession to rule, he shares with Dr. Robert Ley the control of the party machine, he is liked and respected by the people as few other leading Nazis could ever hope to be, and he has fewer powerful and bitter enemies within the party than most Nazis of importance do. How long such 8 compromise solution of the problem of succession would last is anybody’s guess. It probably would last for some time, barring military or other catastrophies, but it would tend from the start to break up of its own inner conflicts and contradictions.

Generals Will Remain Loyal As Hitler 'Runs the Show!

make it easier for them to figure out what plans he was going to use instead. Among the men around Hitler there are only five whose advice Hitler will even listen to with any degree of regularity. These five are Goering, Joachim von Ribbentrop, the foreign minister; Heinrich Himmler, Reich S. §. and police chief; Robert Ley, head of the labor front, and Dr. Joseph Goebbels, the propaganda minister. The other men around Hitler fall into three categories. 1. There are expert technicians, like Dr. Fritz Todt, superintendent of Reich ‘highways, builder of the Westwall and director of all armaments production; Dr. Julius Dorpmueller, minister of | transport; Walter Funk, president of the Reichsbank and minister of economics, and Ohneserge, minister of posts. These men’s political views do not interest Hitler. He.expects from them that they perform their special, expert functions, and perform them well, without bothering or even questioning him about matters of policy. 2. There are minor political figures, with functions which are both expert and political, but who owe their positions to politics more than to technical proficiency. This group includes Wilheim Frick, minister of the interior; Hans Kerri, minister for church affairs; Bernard Rust, minister of education, and Hans Guertner, minister of justice. 3. There are a few outstanding survivals of the original Hitler alliance with the German Nationalist Party, men who have no political influence whatever, and no great importance of any kind, but who have held on to their posts. . Murder Ribbentirop’s Pals

Typical of this category are Franz Seldte, labor minister, and County Schwerin von Krosigk, Reich finance minister. The Nazis at and near the top of the party hierarchy are almost uninterruptedly engaged in one of the most savage struggles for power and influence the world has ever experienced. Party enemies of Ribbentrop, for example, who tried fo wreck his career at every turn, brought about the murder of no fewer than four of his closest collaborators in the years 1934-1937 in an attempt to discredit him and drive him from power. Yet the hopes which some people have reposed in this struggle—the hope that it would destroy the regime—is a false hope $50 long as Hitler is there, and probably so long as Goering is there. Because no single one of these men seeks to challenge Hitler's own power, and because Hitler knows how to prevent the struggle from getting out of hand.

simply because

textbooks, Rep. Creighton said: “We just can’t do it.” It is understood that the Republican State Committee and G. O. P. legislators of both houses have been asked by Ways and Means committee members to delay indorsement of any of the tax relief or textbook bills now pending in the Legislature. Although the Governor urged, and both | parties pledged, “no new taxes,” one Republican House member said today he was considering introduction of a sales tax to raise revenue. Blames Democrats

Lieut. Gov. Charles M. Dawson, in a statement attacking Democratic administrations for the financial plight of the State, said the present problem “is almost without solution.” . Harrison said he believes the Budget Committee pared the budget .requests of the various divisions of government about as much as they could, “It appears to me,” he said, “that no great amount of savings can be made unless we throw out some of the services now provided by the State, “Take the institutions, for example. Their coal prices are up. They have to. pay more for their supplies. - Workers are quitting because they can make more money in the defense industries.”

Counting on Revenue

“Also we're counting on certain revenues. If those revenues should drop — and we have no assurance they won’t—the situation would be still more acute. Then, too, the welfare drain on the treasury might increase.” He said the Ways and Means Committee can be depended on to hew close tothe line and study every bill thoroughly. “From every angle,” “we've got to go slow.” The Democratic minority in the House will not commit itself on the possibility that gross income tax and textbook relief might not be possible. First ‘Honest’ Budget

However, Rep. Winfield K. Den-

he said,

ton (D. Evansville), minority floor}

leader, described it as the first “honest” budget ever submitted to the Legislature. It caused a mild flurry among legislators when first submitted yesterday since the figures showed an increase of $22,800,000 over the 1939 appropriations for two years. Then State Budget Committee members, who submitted the figures, began explaining that the proposed budget, for the first time, included anticipated expenditures of future revenues. These anticipated revenues to be spent ‘during the next two years were estimated in the new Page; at more than $16,000,000. Most of it is gasoline taxes and motor license collections going directly to the Highway Department under specific laws.

Not Included Previously

No previous biennial budget included the expendtiure of these anticipated revenues.

The 1939 Appropriations bill totaled $87,262,000 but $103,318,000 actually was spent during the 19391941 fiscal years. This leaves the margin of increase In the new budget at about $6,800,000 “So, actually, the appropriations bill passed by the 1939 Legislature was not: an honest schedule of proposed expenditures,” declared Rep. Denton, minority leader and Budge, Committee member. “All members of the Committee this year decided to present all the expenditures in the budget so that the public will not be misled on the amounts being spent by the State.” Rep. Denton agreed with several other legislators that present sources of revenues will not raise enough money in the next two years to cover the increased expenditures. He admitted that, despite campaign pledges of both parties against any new taxes, “there is a possibility. that. the Legislature may have to consider a revision of the tax structure to produce some additional revenues.”

OLIVER TO FACE COURT

Ray Oliver, 1414 W. Washington St., former deputy County Clerk, is to be arraigned in Criminal Court next Thursday on an indictment charging him with embezzling approximately $3000. ‘The indictment alleges the embezzlements occurred during 1937, 1938 and part of 1939.

Several State's witnesses testified she addressed him immediately after the: shooting. Vincent's testimony that his father had cut a great deal of ham during the evening of the fight, was intended by the defense to nullify the testimony of Roderic Rae, police criminologist. The defense has contended that saltpeter, often used in the curing of hams, would produce the same chemical reaction as the firing of a gun. Mr. Rae testified that tests showed Iozzo had fired a gun the night of the fight. Family physicians are expected to testify this afternoon as to go received by members of the Tozzo family in the fight. . Yesterday Dominic, who received

Schricker, GOP Agree Gross||

THE haste with which Republican planners drew up their legislative “decentralization” program and their failure to seek the advice and help of experts in special fields is beginning to show up as the bills wind their way through the Legislature. These “decentralization” measures were drafted by seven prominent attorneys named by the G. O. P. State Committee. But here are

a few of the blunders that have been found to date: 1. A provision in the "big ripper” bill which would cost the State Health Board $361,000 in Federal funds, half of its annual budget. The provision would repeal all executive orders issued under the repealed McNutt Reorganization Act. Under that act, former Governor Townsend, in an executive order, placed 300 Health Board employees under the merit system at the request of the Federal Government. G. O. P. leaders say they have now made plans to correct this. ”

Colony Forgotten

2. In the State Institutions Bill, taking control from the Governor and giving it to bi-partisan boards, the drafters listed 19 institutions. They. forgot to mention the Muscatatuck Colony. G. O. P. leaders say they will take care of that in committee. 3. In two bills, the G. O. P. planners twice repeal the appointive office of Attorney General and place it on the ballot ip 1942. In one of them, they originally proposed to have the interim Attorney General appointed by a board including the Governor, and two elected Republican state officials. Senate lawyers looking this measure over decided this provision wouldn't stand up in court. They changed it to provide for selection, by the same board, of an attorney to handle the state’s legal business. Although having the same powers, the attorney would not have the title of Attorney General or take an oath. Evidently this isn't the answer either. For G. O. P. leaders say they are still working on a plan to correct this.. n ” ”

GCUR Repealed

4 In repealing the Governor's Commission on Unemployment Relief, the G. O. P. transferred all its duties to the State Welfare Department. At a cost of about $600,000 a year, the GCUR certifies all WPA workers and handles distribution of Surplus Commodities Corp. food to needy families. When the bill was introduced, Republican State officials said the $1,300,000 unexpended balance in the GCUR treasury would revert to the General -Fund. But the Republican legal officers say their State Welfare Bill provides for taking over these funds by the Welfare Department to carry on operations. There's some confusion on the matter, and if budg-et-trimming legislators let this little problem fall in the middle, the State may lose 36 million dollars in annual WPA wages and four million dollars in free food, because the U. S. demands a certifying agency approved by the State WPA director on certain standards. G. O. P. leaders say they will watch this carefully. " ” 2

Bill Is Amended

5. A provision of the Welfare Bill says no person shall be appointed or employed by the State Welfare Department unless he has been a resident of Indiana for five years. Social welfare leaders pointed out that trained experts in special fields, such as therapists, orthepedists, psychologists and psychiatrists, were not available in Indiana and the state’s program would be seriously handicapped. When this was called to the attention of one G. O. P. leader, he said: “We have talked that all out in the steer-

The provision will stand.” Later, the Senate amended the bill to cut the residence requirement to one year “unless officials are unable to find the type of specialist desired inside the state.” G. O. P. leaders have already taken care of this one,

Some Are Leery

This list could go on indefinitely. For instante, in a bill transferring the State Employment Service to the State Welfare Department by amending a 1935 act, the G. O. P. attorneys overlooked a 1936 amendment which transferred the Employment Service to the Unemplyoment Compensation Division. G. O. P. attorneys say this is all right, but other lawyers say the 1936 act also will have to be amended. The Republicans probably will take care of this with another amendment.

With all these “loose ends” floating around, most of them picked up by-Jaymen, some of the Republican legislators and others are wondering if there aren’t some bigger ones still undetected that might tighten up and choke the G. 0. P. Democratic attorneys say there are. That's why some of the G. O. P. legislators are getting a trifle leery and shaky.

STRAUSS SAYS:

Night Raid on Nazi Industrial Region.

LONDON, Jan. 23 (U. P.) ~The Royal Air Force rained bombs on the French invasion coast today after a severe attack last night set great fires in the heavy industrial region of Duesseldorf. The invasion coast rajd was Tes ported from Dover where the sound . of heavy explosions came from the French shore, indicating a strong R. A. F. attack was in progress. The night attack on Duesseldorf concentrated on steel, coal and gas and oil works. The Air Ministry said the raid lasted two and a half hours and started many fires. “There was one particularly large explosion,” the Ministry said, ayo which debris was thrown high in the air.” The blazing fires lighted the re the Ministry said. The attack came a few hours after one of the most daring day= light raids of the war in which six Polish pilots, members of a famous Hurricane squadron of the Royal Air Force, machine gunned German motor boats, grounded airplanes, troops, truck convoys and anti-aire craft guns along the French invae i sion coast. German sources at Berlin ad= mitted that British planes dropped bombs on a number of points in western Germany during the night, but said they caused little damage. = It was the 21st British raid on Duesseldorff. The Air Ministry said, the bombers also attacked other : parts of the Ruhr industrial area despite bad weather, Two airdromes in German-occupied territory also were bombed, the Ministry said. The Polish pilots made two sweeps of the invasion coast between the
