A former United States air pilot, 25 years of age, is acclaimed by the whole world because of his daring and cou > in flying,’ alone, in a monoplane from New York to Paris, a distance of 3,800 | miles, in the record-breaking time of thirty-three and a half hours. For three days, since his landing from Europe, hundreds of thou | sands have eagerly hailed his every move. But it is necessary to dwell somewhat upon the social signif- | icance of the demonstrations. They have all been of an exceed-| ingly military nature. There is no question that the cunning and} unprincipled agents of the war-mongers are working overtime to} utilize the private feat of young Lindbergh for their own vile | purposes. It is ironic in the extreme that the son of a father, who fought | against the sham of the last world war and resented to his dying day this country’s participation in that war should become the symbol of the first great organized campaign for preparation for | the next world war in which this country will fight. The swivel- chair patriots who direet the propaganda of imperialism in order to lure the young manhood and youth of the nation in the slaugh-| ter house have found in young “Lindy” something to dramatize their game. | There is a tense condition throughout the whole world.
