Lindbergh, once a national hero, was now despised by many in America because he refused to ride the anti-German wave that was sweeping over America: “We do not wish to be Pharisees, but a people who would let such a thing happen have every cause to attend to their own affairs. As regards the rest of the world, if it loves the Jews so much, let it take them!”

It is fairly well established that a sharp conflict has broken out in Party and Government circles respecting the scope of the application of the [anti-Semitic] legislation. According to good authority, Herr Hitler and Dr. Schacht, at a meeting of Gauleiters and Reichleiters held immediately after the [Nürnberg] Congress, drove home to their hearers the necessity for discipline and the avoidance of excesses

a widespread feeling that President and Mrs. Roosevelt have practically nothing but Jewish advisers. . . .
