Resents Lindberghs Criticism of Soviet Air Force
Soviets Resented
Lindy Statement
. *1
MOSCOW, Oct. 10, (IP)— Soviet
leading airman solemnly denoun
<*ed Lindbergh’s statement, and
accused him of spreading lies
about Soviet’s air strength so as
to give Premier Chamberlain an
argument for the surrender of
Czechoslovakia. The Soviet
statement apparently arose from
unverified reports published in
two London newespapers, in whi
ch Lindbergh was critical of the
Soviet air force. Lindbergh
made no comment, however, on
the reports.
The Moscow statement was
signed by eleven Soviet air men,
including Civil Aviation Chief,
Vasily Molokoff and a group of
ten others designated officially as
“Heroes of the Soviet Union",
and published in the Comumm- j
ists Party newspaper "Pravda”.
The statement called Lindbergh
“Stupid, a liar, Lackey, and flat-1
terer of German Nazis."

Hitler Says He Is
Ready for Peace
BERLIN, Germany, Oct. 10th,
(Ah—.Informed circles interpreted
Hitler’s Saarbruecken speech as
a warning to Germany’s future
which still carries war dangers.
The Chancellor declared that
Germany is ready “for a policy
of understanding with our neigh
bors, but is preparing herself de
fensively more than ever”. He
indicated that Germany will con
tinue, especially,to keep an eagle
eye on three British statesmen—
the former Foreign Secretary,
Anthony Eden; the Former First
Lord of the Admiralty, Alfred
Duff Cooper; Winston Church
ill, fiorst Lord of the Admiralty
during the World war; whom he
described as “ leftovers from the
Versailles Treaty conferences."
He said the “experience of the
past eight months shows we
must strengthen our determina
tion and be careful to leave no
thing undone for our security
and rights. There are those
abroad who dont want peace and
permanent construction for their
states; to such men peace can at
any time be supplanted by oth
ers”.
?Ie further said he has decided
to continue to build up the na
tions fortifications with increased
intensity.
