We strongly suspect that the President has ncdepted the
advice of “‘practical’’-Mr. Farley, the master politician, and of
General Johnson, who has already made some very grievous .
mistakes, in matters of which the President had only a par.
tial knowledge: We believe the Administration has blunder .

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: .

contracts condemns the largest portion of our commercial
aviation without just trial.
