The AFC's Inevitable Following

 

We believe the leaders of the America First Committee when they say that they want no financial support form subversive elements. We believe that the America First leaders would prefer that persons of un-American ideal stayed away from America First rallies. But that is not the point.

The point is that un-American organizations have made appeals for contributions of money to America First. Un-American element crowd America First rallies. They applaud America First speakers. They boo the President of the United States. They do not boo Hitler of Mussolini or Stalin. . . Some of them belong to the Nazi Bund which is pro-Hitler. . . What Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin and their friends in this country Applaud cannot be good for America.
