LINDBERGHS WARNING
Had Charles A. Lindbergh deliberately set out to
shock his fellow-men into a realization of the menace
they are preparing for themselves and their children
he could not have chosen an occasion better suited to
his purpose than recently in Berlin. Breaking his long
silence on public questions, he dramatically warned
his hosts and the rest of the world of the potential de
structiveness of military aviation. After compliment
ing Germany on its outstanding progress in civil ava
tion, he declared to a gathering of the nation’s finest air
men that “Unlike the builders of the first dugout can
oe, aviators have lived to see their harmless wings of
fabric turned into carriers of destruction even more
dangerous than the guns of a battleship. Aviation has
abolished what we call defensive wafare,” so that “it
is no longer possible to shield the heart of a country
with its army.”
He was, it must be assumed, speaking only for him
self as an individual and not in a representative capa
city. Yet to speak with such directness in the heart of
Nazi Germany—feverishly re-arming on land and sea
and threatening to become dominant in the air—was to
give added significance to his words. And to express
these views after a sojourn in Great Britain—whence
he had just flown and where he had been in consulta
tion with the British authorities, who are straining ev
ery resource to build up an air fleet to match or sur
pass the strongest air force on the Continent—was to
elevate his address to the level of an event of cardinal
importance, e
In contrast with many scientists who disclaim any
responsibility for the social consequences of their dis
coveries. Lindbergh appealed directly to his fellows:
"We who are in aviation carry a heavy responsi
bility on our shoulders, for while we have been draw
ing the world closer together in peace, we have stripped
the armor from every nation in war.”
There are, of course, experts who will not share
Lindbergh’s judgment about the destuctive power of
aviation as a military weapon, but most men and wo
men will be inclined to feel that there is no other ex
pert either in aviation or. for that matter, in diplomacy
who is likely to be nearer the truth than he when he
concluded: “We must look for a new type of security,
