The famous flier told the United States House of Representatives foreign affairs committee that he cuq not peueve M.V.n.. A urn. L war" would win the struggle unless there was collapse behind the lines on one side or the other. Elaborating, Lindbergh said he did not believe Germany could Invade Britain unless there was a "previous .collapse" behind the lines and he thought the same applied to a British Invasion of the continent. Lindbergh said that entrance by United States into any foreign war should be avoided for, regardless cf happenings abroad, United States and the Western Hemisphere were strong enough to protect themselves. The flier advocated the establish ment of a string of air bases by United States, some in Canada, and a first line air force of ten thousand planes. Lindbergh 'told'lHe comlttee'thaf this nation need not fear an air Invasion in "any predictable future." In urging a negotiated peace, he expressed the belief that a com- 'plete victory for eother side would ibring about "economic prostration 'such as has never before been seen." The air base development should Include Newfoundland,, Canada, jWest Indies, MJexlco, Central and Isouth America, the Hawaiian Islands and South America.
