DOES NOT THINK BRITAIN WILL WIN
COLONEL LINDBERGH’S VIEW NEGOTIATED PEACE PREFERRED WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. Colonel Charles Lindbergh, addressing the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, reiterated opposition to the Lend and Lease Bill and said he did not believe that Britain could win the war, but if such victory were possible it would necessitate years of war, which would create prostration, famine and disease in Europe and probably in America. “That’s why I prefer a negotiated peace to an outright victory by either side,” he said. "I have never taken the position that it makes no difference who wins. It does. It would be easy for me to say I would like to see the English win.” He contended that it would take several years for the United States and Britain to equal or exceed German air strength.
