We are willing to grant that grave suspicion of corrup-; tion rests upon certain of the aviation corporations in regard to “If this: is not the case, it seems the. right of hic; industry and in keeping with American tradition that facts to the contrary be definitely established.

Frankly, we do not like the attitude of certain attor-. neys, late assistant postmaster generals, and least of all, that . of former Postmaster General Brown. never a favorite with any public spirited citizen who abominates abuse of public office for party reasons. But that is a long way from convicting every holder of an airmail contract ef corruption without a fair hearing of some kind. The kinship between this action and some of those of . Mussolini and Hitler is repugnant to our institutions and to our sense of fairplay. 4 These airmail carriers were entitled to a full and fair, hearing before the Senate investigatigation committee. 1G) American people are perfectly. willing to abide by ‘the decision . of any properly constituted tribunal, whether.of the Senate o the courts, that finds and exposes corruption.

But to tar the whole zirmail service with same wicks, to suddenly cut off a great indu:'ry and the best airmail service in the world, which had come to lean upon government subsidy for a part of its necessary income, and this, without an adequate hearing, with no warning, without even an accusation against the majority of the carriers, is certainly a highhanded and un-American proceeding. Indeed .Brown was . They do nt! care whether the guiiy ave committed their offences under . In any case they should . Since the above was written, Postmaster General Farley . has written a letter to Senator Black chairman of the Senate investigating committee, in which he voices his suspicion that lall. holders of Government airmail] contracts are corrupt exi cept one. And about that one he is doubtful. His suspicion . may or may not be founded in fact. He adduces not one . scintilla of proof and his letter is in vivid contrast, in its weakness, with the d:astic action he has advised and which the ‘President has taken. As between Postmaster General Farley and Col. Lindbergh, we would much rather trust Col. Lindbergh. > EDWARD'S CROSSING FRENCH CORRAL OPERATES GRADE MUCH IMPROVED A CONCENTRATING PLANT The CWA Edward’s The French. ' Corral mine, near Crossing grade has been completed.

Lindbergh will find an} echo in the heart of every ight thinking citizen unmoved by ; partisanship. Furthermore this Presidential order. will lay . under suspicion every. ukase uttered from now on under the . emergency powers granted the President. What the American public should have immediately is a — clear concise answer to this appeal of Col. Lindbergh, which, . as a matter of fact, was filed with Postmaster General Farley . and with the President's office twenty four hours before it . was given to the press. Here is Col. Lindbergh's protest, and . . it is worth reading and thinking about: . “The President, White House, Washington, D.C. . “Your action of yesterday affects fundamentally the . ~ industry to which I have devoted the last 12 years of my . life. Therefore I respectfully present to you the following consideration: ca “The personal and business lives of American citi* zens have been built up around the right of just trial be_ fore conviction.
