Speech delivered at Manhattan Center, broadcast by WMCA in New York.

Lindbergh outlines various reasons the United States should stay out of the war. He continually compares the US to the United Kingdom and France. He does not see a national interest in entering the war, and he is harshly critical of the interventionists.

Approximately half-way through part 1, he looks at the feasibility of winning the war for Britain, from an aviation viewpoint.

In outlining the policy of the America First Committee, he notes it is not one of isolation, but independence.
