"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.
