The Texas House of Repre- sentatives adopted a resolution advising Lindbergh to stay out of Texas. No purpose would be served by such a visit, the Texas House voted. The New Republic, devoting considerable space to the "anti- Semitic plot" among isolationists, saw the anti-Jewish mouthings as "an attempt to blackmail those Americans who are also Jews into silence by threatening them with dire consequences if they con- tinue to exercise their rights as Americans to speak and vote on either side of the issue of Hitlerism."

Major Jewish Organizations Strike Back at Lindbergh CLYDE'S CAFE The Jews of the United States will not be terrorized into silence by the mouthings of Charles A. Lindbergh, it is clear from state- ments issued by the American Jewish Committee, the American Jewish Congress Congress, the Jewish Labor Committee and the Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith. Determined to protect their rights as American citizens, they refuse to be huddled into a corner by anti-Semites who ac- cuse them of agitating for war. The statements agree in their basic premise that Jews are Americans who have the best interests of this country at heart and who have never advocated a course inimical to the welfare of the nation. They are uniformly defiant of either the threats or the cajolings of the self-consti- tuted "friends" of the Jewish people. "We are obliged to Mr. Lind- bergh for his gratuitous advice," said a joint statement of the American Jewish Committee and the Jewish Labor Committee, "and reject completely his un- American appeal to selfish in- terests. We will not put even what he considers our 'inter- ests' before those of our coun- try, since our interests and those of our country are one and in- divisible." CLYDE THOMAS, Prop.

Wise, makes clear the position of the Jews with respect to Hitler, protection of Ameri- can democracy, and support of the policy of the President and the Congress of the United States. The Lindbergh Des Moines speech is termed "Hit- ler-like if not Hitler-instigated." Addressing itself "to our fel- low Americans of all faiths," the message points out "that Jews have no view or attitude in rela- tion to foreign affairs that is not dictated solely by American interests." "As Americans, Jews have nat- urally differed in attitude or viewpoint in relation to the war," says the message. "Far from agi- tating for war, however, Jewish groups have since the beginning of Hitler's attack not only on them but on all religion and on humanity itself. exerted the ut- most restraint." They had hoped together with all peace-loving citizens that Hitler's attack upon human freedom might be ended "without the involvement of this country in war." However, Amer- ican Jews believe, in common with the majority of all Ameri- cans, "that American freedom is threatened. that the democratic way of life is menaced. Not be- cause Jews were the earliest vic- tims, but bcause we fear that our country may become the last victim. we have instinctively ranged ourselves for the most part, though far from uniformly, with vast numbers of our fellow- A mericans," asserts the American .Jewish Congress.
