The view that in his recent speeches Colonel Charles Lindbergh, the noted American flyer, was expressing the opinions of a minority party in the United States, was expressed by two American journalists who are visiting Auckland. They were Mr A. Talbert, of the New York Herald-Tribune, and Mr J. Bassett, of the Los Angeles Times. Mr Talbert said it could not be denied that Colonel Lindbergh had a considerable following, chiefly among those who wanted to keep the United States out of the war at any price or for special reasons. Thus, among those who would support his views would be pacifists, Communists and members of the German-Ameri-can Bund. This organisation still existed, though one of its prominent men, Fritz Kuhn, was in gaol.
