DISWýSSFS MIOTYALTY
Speech Made by Charles A.
LndberghCandjidate for Gov
erkor, Endorsed by the Non
partisan League, at Rochester,
Minn., Thursday, May 9th.
Every decent citizen in the United
States is convinced tha our war
aims are absolutely just and that the
President's peace program must pre
vail and every decent citizen in the
United States is behind this war- and
Nilling to make every sacrifice to
calry it through to victory. Modern
warfare, however, is not alone a ques
tion of military might. Eevry pro
ductive resource of every belligerent
,nation is being strained to the utmost
and the nation which first falters be
neath this strain will be defeated,
even though its armies seem victor
ious.. Predpction on the fields and in
the factories at home is just as . im
portant as fighting on the battle
fieldstabroad.
Production is an economic problem
as# we must solve this pieblem to
the best. possible advantage before
we can win this war. To participate
in the selutaie. of this problem is the
dat [ºx.re ypatrietlp citizen. Our
byan re hbeldiag firm in the trendhes
abroad. We must play our part at
home byr supporting them with
promsptaes and efflcimncy.
After bitter experience, England,
Franee o Jta Xeund that private
mooras wit. %ta inevitable profit
eering had Laid and these govern
ments were foreed to take control of
the ,essential industries. Russia fail
ed to tale such a step, with the re
sult that the nation's economic srue
tute collapsed and today Russian
armies are practically out of the
field. The lesson ought to be plain to
the people of the United Stats. Our
Government will be forced to control
the basic industries and any delay in
this matter is simply prolonging the
war. We need not go abroad for ob
ject lessons. ?rlvate profits have de
lsyd and handibapped our own war
program. The Hog Island scandal ýs
still fresh in the nostrils of the people
slid more recent ,evelations show
that our aeroplane coestuction pre
gram has been sariously interfered
with by the unconscilo bl greed of
private selfish interests.
The raeilroads broke down under
wasteful and ineffident private man
agenment and the President twas fore
a4 to take them, over to privt a dis
sros netion. Profiteering in
th U- 1mie tied up our shipping

program. That explains why the
Nonpartisan league has been attacked
by the supporters and newspaper
apologists of these profiteers. That
also explains why garbled extracts of
my books are used in an -effort to
show that I, too, am disloyal.
These interests fear to meet a dis
cussion of the facts. They know that
they can neither deny nor defend
their unpatriotic exploitation at a
time when every true citizen is sacri
ficing for his country's good. There
fore, these profiteers and their polit
ical henchmen dodge the real issues
and bring fake charges of disloyality
against others. They do this to di
vert attention from their own nefar
ious practices which will not stand
the light of day. They are trylng to
hide behind the flag, but it is any de
liberate judgment that those same
profiteers are the real diuloya sts in
this ciisip and that if thesahlMbe.

they should first seek out thee. tral
tors who gouge the government and
exploit the people at eery tars.
Once more I say that the American
people are united to win this war.
Thejyan who says otherwise is lylag
for political effact and these lies
themnelves tend to dtvider the people
and carry aid and comfort to the
enemy. The only "Huns Within our
Gates" that I know of are the men
who stand at the cross roads of com
merce in this crisis and eatort a rob
ber toll when our nation needs every
pound of food and every dollar.
These same interests that are thus
handicapping our fight agEinst auto
cracy abroad are themselves openly
fighting democracy at homae. They
would even suspend the flphts of free
speech and peaceable assemblage, be
cause they know that at meetigs like
these, their disloyalty will be expos
ed elm though thr- subsidised.
newspapers do remain silent.
As candidate of the National Non
partisan League for governor, I serve
notice here and now that this an
American plot will be defeated. We
intend to expose the prteers and
to carry the truth to the people. We
az going to unit. them tlat this
war may have a Democrat manage
ment and direction and in crashiag
the Prussian autocrats abroad we will
not be stopped by the eftors of any
petty political autecrats at borne.
