NATION'S LEADERS OF ALL FAITHS JOIN IN CONDEMNING LINDBERGH'S TALK Men and Women in Every Field Brand Attack on Jews Unpatriotic; Examiner Editorial Denouncing Bigotry Warmly Praised Special to the San Francisco Examines NEW YORK, Sept. 15. From leading citizens in all fields and representing all the major faiths, came universal disagreement with Charles A. Lindbergh's Des Moines address of last Thursday in which he accused the British, the Jewish and the Roosevelt Administration of being "the three most important groups which have been pressing this country toward war."

LINDBERGH'S intemperate and intolerant address in Des Moines, in which racial and religious prejudices were incited specifically against the Jewish faith should arouse universal protest and denunciation. The Hearst newspapers, throughout all the years of their publication, have never failed to challenge intolerance in this land, and do most vigorously challenge it now. Above "all else, the principle of religious freedom and respect must be preserved in America, if what we love MOST about America is to endur. Nothing is so deeply and completely fundamental to the happy, free and enlightened way of life that has always been characteristic of America than the principle that the issues of race and creed are not to be raised among our people to the disadvantage and disparagement of any of us. Whoever does violence to that principle does disservice to the Nation.

Among all the hosts of American leaders and statesmen who in all the years of our national history have had and DESERVED to have the confidence and respect of the people, almost none have abandoned the wholesome and decent American concept of racial and religious equality. But not even "equality" encompasses the whole scope of the relationships and standards NEW YORK, Sept. 15.

"In whatever they do today they will act as Americans, with no thought of racial distinction and for the common good." MRS.

SHL'STER, president of Hunter College, former editor of the Commonweal: "I think Lindbergh is playing with dynamite, and if he isn't careful that dynamite is going to explode. "Our experiences at Hunter indicate that there is no solid alignment of religious groups groups on either side of the war issue. Our only serious differences grow out of Communism, and they are rapidly disappearing.

A Thus our country has been something infinitely better than a merely tolerant land. It has been a land in which the broad virtues STATE SENATOR FREDERIC of humanity have been the foundations of harmony, unity and the comprehensive blending of the fine things which are in all men. This is the fine and vital thing against which Colonel Lindbergh has raised the threat of disunity and disruption. YY, R. COLDERT "Any one wlio seeks to settle great national questions by an appeal to prejudice does his country a great disservice, and should be repudiated.

The right solution of great problems requires clear heads free from prejudice or passion." It is the thing which all wrorthy Americans should support with reverence and conviction, and which the best and most honored of Ameri DR. PAUL CLAPPER, president cans have nvith unswerving fidelity.

To do so today is to strengthen the vicious forces that make for disunity. "Lindbergh is undermining the lessons of interculturai and He most certainly represents no organization worthy of having loyal Americans affiliated with its activities. No voice or influence must ever lead the American people astray from the principles that have brought them thus far and so far along the paths of justice and freedom.

And of all our principles, none is more AMERICAN than that which brings men of all faiths within the kindly scope of American brotherhood. Protest must indeed rise vigorously and uncompromisingly against this indignity against the morals and conscience of the American people. nrcCOVERED THE nr.n unw PEOPLE UKt YUUiour imi KtHV r- inter-racial understanding that our colleges teach."
