response TO the open communication
from General Funston published in yes
terdaNs Call, the editor OF the Monitor
has sent the following reply:
Editor of The Call-Sir: I beg the
favor of space in your esteemed jour-
nal to notice as far as it applies to
myself or to the Monitor Brigadier
General Funston's proposition with
reference to certain statements impli
eating him in the looting Of Caloocan
church. The betting arrangement to
which General Funston has recourse,
in lieu of a threatened action for
libel, is positive disappointment. 1t
is neither dignified nor conclusive. 1t
does not seem to me TO be becoming
mode of procedure for the settlement
of such a question as the one in
volved. I should feel inclined to ac-
commodate General Funston, how
ever, if it were not against my prin-
ciples, personally, and against the
principles of the publication with
which I am responsibly connected, to
arbitrate questions of fact on purely
gambling basis.
If General Funston has been ibeled
by the Monitor he is not dependent
upon the friendly offices of Rabbi
Voorsanger or any number of amiable
and impartial friends of that gentle
man for redress. The courts are wide
open to him, as they are to less dis
tinguished citizens. AS defender of
our institution, it would be far more
in keeping with General Funston's
official position and character to take
up this matter regularly, in accord
ance with established forms of law
under those institutions. Should the
complainant lose his case in a libel
suit there is nothing, that know of,
to prevent him forfeiting his $1,000
to the Red Cross Society, if he saw
At to do so. On behalf of the Monitor
7 cheerfully promise to donate double
that sum to the same excellent organ
ization in the event of the verdict be-
ing in his favor.
I have small respect for courage
which passes the lie at long range
from behind the safe shelter of a
newspaper communication. may be
pardoned, I trust, for expressing the
opinion that that sort of thing corre-
spends admirably with the tinsel
glory with which General Funston
has been surrounded, as understand,
through the industry of a careful,
personally conducted literary bureau.
