THE TRUTH ABOUT
THAT GERMAN MEDAL
(From a speech by Representative
Woodiuff in the House of Represen
tatives May 31.)
One of the most unfair and vicious
aspects of this assault against the
lone eagle is the half-truth being re
peated about his having accepted a
Nazi decoration. His detractors are
very careful not to tell all the facts
about that incident. So, in the in
terest of fairness—of just common,
ordinary, decent, American fairness—
I want to recall the real facts sur
rounding that incident.
You will remember that Lindbergh
had inspected the air forces of Russia
and had said that they were weak.
His Russian hosts promptly called
him a liar. Subsequent events have
proved the Soviet officials to be the
liars.
Then Lindbergh was invited by the
Hitler government to inspect the
German air forces. He went to Ger
many to do that.
At a stag dinner given in Colonel
Lindbergh’s honor by the United
States Ambassador, Hugh R. Wilson,
Lindbergh was surprised and embar
rassed by the sudden presentation of
the medal. The New York Times of
Thursday, October 20, 1938, in report
ing the incident, stated in part as
follows:
“On arriving (at the stag party at
the American Embassy) Marshall
Goering immediately produced a lit
tle box and in the name of the Fue
hrer put the decoration—the service
cross suspended from a ribbon—
around Colonel Lindbergh’s neck and
pinned on his chest the six-pointed
silver star that goes with it.
"Colonel Lindbergh appeared sur
prised, displayed an embarrassed
smile, and th'anked Marshal Goering.
In the American magazine of April
1939, this statement concerning the
incident was made:
“Marshal Goering came in late and,
to everybody’s surprise, presented the
medal to Lindbergh. What could he do
but accept it?
“Exactly. What else could he do?
He could not refuse it, for that would
have been an affront by the Ameri
can Embassy, not by Lindbergh. He
could not send it back, for the same
reason. He could not explain, either.
So, then, it is clear, Mr. Speaker,
that Lindbergh knew nothing of the
intended presentation of this medal.
He was surprised and embarrassed.
Bu he was a guest of a government
with which we were at peace. He was
suddenly honored at a dinner in the
embassy of his country by the second
most important official of the Ger
man government.
Now, Mr. Speaker, I want to ask
you, just what would you, just what
would any Member of this Congress,
of our Government, or any citizen,
have done under similar circum
stances. In what way would any of
us have acted differently than Colo
nel Lindbergh acted? There was
neither reason nor excuse for him to
scornfully insult a friendly govern
ment by rejecting the decoration. He
had received decorations from every
other country in the world for his
great exploit. It would be just as
fair for Lindbergh’s critics to assert
now that he is biased in favor of all
those other government — including
England, France — because they have
given him decorations, as to assert
that he is pro-Nazi because Goering
and Hitler surprised him with such
an honor. So in sheer fair play, let
his critics tell the whole truth about
tha incident, not a half-truth turned
to the effort of deliberately falsify
ing the whole incident.

The Civic League held an enthus
iastic meeting at the NYA home on
Tuesday afternoon at 4 o’clock. The

sion concerning the beautification of
Parkways in the city and the exten
sion of College street which has re
cently been widened. Mrs. Rook dis
cussed the question of how to create
more interest in gardens in Newberry.
Mrs. Summer discussed the question
of unsightly buildings surrounding
the public square and the advisibility
of the cooperation of the people in
making the center of town more at
tractive. The League was very pleas
ed to have as guests Mr. Purcell,
president of the Chamber of Com
merce and Ted Bremer, secretary.
Both Mr. Purcell and Mr. Bremer

ters of vital importance to both or-
ginization. The League wil be very
happy to cooperate with the Chamber
of Commerce in any phase of their
work where assistanie of the League
is needed.

After the program a plant ex
change was enjoyed by all. Many
lovely plants were brought by mem
bers to be exchanged for other plants.
A letter was received by the League
from Mrs. T. C. Pool which was deep
ly appreciated. Mrs. Pool was not
well enough to attend the meeting
but offered plants to the League in
exchange for some she wished to get.
Mrs. Pool is one of the oldest mem-
bersof the Civic League. Her letter
was an inspiration to the young wo
men who are now attempting to car
ry on the work so nobly begun al
most 30 years ago by those interest

hostesses served delightful punch and
sandwiches, assisted by Miss Gladys
Epting and the NYA girls.

WAR NOT TO SAVE DEMOCRACY, BUT
A STRUGGLE FOR TRADE SUPREMACY
The air is filled with talk about
isolation, intervention, and neutrali
ty. The Nation is in a state of hys
teria. Calmer heads are warning us
to keep our shirts on, but war propa
ganda is insiduous and powerful. We
hear that “This is not our war,” that
“It is our turn next,” that “W’e can
not stay out,” that “We must go in
at once,” that “We must give aid to
the Allies short of war,” that “We
are weak and can be invaded by air,
land or sea,” that “We have nothing
to fear.”
Now is the time to be calm and to
make a careful survey of the situa
tion. We think the case can be stat
ed in one proposition expressed in
two forms:
First, Either the Allies are fight
ing for the peace and liberty of the
United States, or they are not.
Secondly, The defeat of the Allies
will make it impossible for the United
States to live at peace with the dic
tators, or it will not.
If the Allies are fighting for the
peace and liberty of the United States
and if their defeat will make it im
possible for us to have peace, what
are we waiting for? Evidently in
that case it is our duty to pitch into
the war with all our moral, economic,
and military strength. If it is our
war we belong over there and the
quicker the better. Why trifle with
measures “just short of war,” why
get into it half way, or stick our big
toe into it? Why not take the plunge
and have it over with?
If the Allies are fighting our war,
fighting for our peace and security
and we fail them, we are a nation of
ingrates, slackers, cowards . If they
are fighting for us and we do no more
than lend them our money and fur
nish them with airplanes and guns
for their young men to use against
the enemy, while our own young men.
from behind their mothers’ skirts,
watch the brave British and French
die, what kind of a nation are we?
But if the Allies are not fighting
for the peace and liberty of the
United States and if their defeat will
not mean war for us against the dic
tators, what are we stewing about?
Why should we send our young men
forth to fight in a cause that is not
ours ? Why should we stick our nose
into a neighboring fight that is no
concern of ours? Why should we
endanger our own form of govern
ment by engaging in a war that nei
ther side will win, because even if
they win they lose. Why should we
immediately invite ourselves to be
regimented and placed under a dic
tator, the plans for which were drawn
several years ago, if this war does
not affect us? Why should we gam
ble with the blood of our young men
in a cause that is not our own ?
So stands the proposition. If now
we inquire into the underlying facts
of the war we shall find that it is
the same old war that has been going
on in Europe for at least 2,000 years,
It is a continuation of the World War
into which we were duped. It is a
war for commercial supremacy in Eu
rope and nothing else. It is not a
war of honor, a war for liberty, or
a war for security. It is a war for
commercial power.
We know now that the World War
was not fought to make the world
safe for democracy. We see now how
Turkey and Russia are lined up with
ther old enemies of the World War,
and Italy is leaning that way. We
see how Japan has veered from the
side of the “democracies” to the side
of Germany. Are they still fighting
for democracy? Were they fighting
for democracy in the World War?
Only yesterday we read that Great
Britain is trying to win the wicked
Stalin to its side again, willing to
forgive the invasion of Poland, Es-
Ithdnia, Latvia, and Finlatnd. This
talk of war for honor and war against
dictators and war for democracy and
the like, just don’t add up.
In a world so full of nations that
line up in war according to their own
advantage, why should we be contin-
uallly looking for a chance to get in
and fight for democracy, honor, and
other high principles ?
Common sense tells us our duty is
to obey George Washington’s advice
and keep away from that eternal
fighting and intrigue in Europe.
Keep our own home fires burning,
guard this Nation with the biggest
Navy, biggest air fleet, and m effi
cient Army, and mind our own busi
ness. That’s the prudent course.
If Germany wins the war, A. Hitler
will rule the roost in Europe. If the
United States gets into the war, win
or lose, a Hitler will rule America.
Our form of government will melt in
the war. Our hope for the United
States as a democracy is to stay out
—away out.
England financed Hitler. Furnished
him with war supplies even while he
was crushing Austria and Czechoslo
vakia. And now we are supposed to
finance England in its war with Hit
ler. Bamum was right. The Ameri
can people love to be fooled—but not
that badly, we hope,—Salida, Colo.,
Daily Mail of May 21, 1940.
An estimated 2000 farmers of New
berry County have used the assistance
of AAA committeemen in working
out farm plans to cover their 1940
farming operations, according to
County Agent P. B. Ezell.
The farm plans already worked out
indicate that small farmers, more
than ever, are taking advantage of
the conservation provisions of the
AAA program to carry out the prac
tices most needed on their farms.
“AAA payments made to farmers
to help them carry out conservation
practices do not begin to represent-
the true value of such practices,” Mr.
Ezell says. “For every dollar paid
out for soil building practices under
the AAA Farm Program, it is esti
mated that the farm income will he
increased by several dollars as a res
ult of the increased productivity of the
soil.”
Designed especially to aid small
farmers, one of the provisions of the
1940 Farm Program lakes it possible
for any farmer to tarn at least $20
for complying with special crop
acreage allotments and for carrying
out soil-building practices. If the
amount the farmer may earn would
normally he computed at less than $20,
he may earn the difference between
that amount and $20 by carrying out
approved soilbuilding practices.
Approximately 125 farmers in New
berry Country are affected by the $20
minimum payment, Mr. Ezell esti
mates. Most of these farmers are
taking advantage of this provision of
the program to: Lime, terrace and
improve their land through the seed
ing of various legumes.
Liming among nearly all produc
ers is taking first place among the
list of soil-building practices being
carried out in Newberry County, with
terracing a close second. Other
phases of soil building that are com
ing in for a fair share are summer
legumes, writer legumes and green
manure crops. •
Since January 1, 1940, 440 produc
ers in Newberry County have order
ed and received as grants of aid un
der the 1940 Farm Program 2932
tons of lime. This total is being in
creased daily.
Performance work is now under
way in the county in nearly all com
munities. Every effort is being put
forth in the first check to account for
all soil building practices that have
already been carried out. Producers
are especially urged to be present
when reporters call at their farm or
have a duly authorized representa
tive present to avoid the overlooking
of any soil-building practices for
whch credit might have already been
earned. Full cooperation on. the part
of all producers with performance
reporters is very important if the
work in the field is to progress
smoothly and the maximum benefit
is to be derived from this year’s
program.
Runs for Commissioner
Robert P. Fair announces in this
issue as a candidate for County Com
missioner in District No. 1. Mr. Fair
has had considerable business exper
ience, having been connected with
The Standard and Indian Refining
companies for 36 years prior to his
withdrawal from active business some
years ago. Mr. Fair’s ability as a
business man is reflected in the fact
that he rose from position of agent
to that of assistant general manager
of an oil company. Mr. Fair keeps
well posted on county affairs and
states that he is in position to give
the county a considerable bit of his
time as he is not regularly employ
ed . Mr. Fair is much of an economist
in polities, and has lone- insisted that
the tax burden is too heavy. He prom
ises strict application of business
principles to the office if elected.
