August 5, 1940 – “Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh was bitterly
denounced in the senate today by Senator Pepper, Democrat, Florida, ‘as the
chief of the fifth-column in this country.’”
Pepper was reacting to “the flier’s speech Sunday urging ‘co-operation’
with Germany if Germany wins the war. In a radio address replying to Lindbergh,
Senator Lucas, Democrat, Illinois, said tonight he was ‘not only amazed but
somewhat shocked by Colonel Lindbergh’s attitude of complacency toward Adolph
Hitler.’”
