Gates Says He
Was MisquOted

T DITOR Call-Sir: am in receipt
IL which seems to be an editorial
treatment of some remarks I
made recently in an address before the
students of the University of Chicago.
If my remarks had been properly re-
ported by the representative of the
press who was present and made the
report I am sure you would have COM
mended my words instead of taking is
sue with~them. The report that went
out in the press dispatches utterly
missed the point of my allusion to the
San Francisco disaster. 1t is due my
self, but more the unhappily afflicted
and bereft people of your stricken city,
that correction be made, for l am rep
resented as attributing the disaster to
the vengeance of a Deity angered by
the wickedness of the people. ] regard
such view of God as both unchristian
and uncivilized, and 1 regard such a
view of the disaster as both unscientific
and superstitious.
What / did say was that loss of life
in the quake was increased by the sud
den falling of certain poorly and, if we
may believe the reports circulated IN
the press, dishonesty constructed
buildings. 1 take IL that building op-
erations are no more free from graft"
in your city than in Chicago. The
builder can cover up his graft until a
food, a fire or an earthquake attacks
his work, then it is suddenly disclosed
l gave credence to the press reports
that certain buildings which were built
to stand the strain of earthquake were
among the first to collapse, and the
conclusion was drawn, as evidence
seemed to show. that the builder had
neglected his work. / drew the con-
clusion, and cited this as an instance
of the truth, that the responsibility of
the worker for his work, no matter
what it was, does not cease with the
completion of his work or the. pay
ment of his wages. The city of Chi
cago has been trying for two or three
years to fix the responsibility for the
IroQuois Theater disaster upon the re-
