Famed Poet Says Lincoln
Would Side With Britain
In Present World War
(Continued from Page 1)
that the British ignored all indica-
tions of Germany's air superiority
and insisted on building battleships
instead of the' planes which would
have changed the course of the pres-
ent conflict.
"General Billy Mitchell beseeched
the United States to concentrate on
plane construction, but he was ig--
nored," Sandburg declared, and re-
ferred to the present task of defense
preparation as a result.
Lincoln's utterances, just as many
of those of Robert E. Lee, have much
neaning today because his words al-
ways contained the note of prayer
and humility, Sandburg stated.
Following Lincoln's example, "ev-
ery one of us today should beware
of over-righteous spirits," Sandburg
warned and he quoted the Bible
statement, "Be not rash with thy
mouth," as a good axiom for modern
usage.
