To THE EDITOR or THE SuN-Sfr: MY
attention has been called to an article
in your newspaper in which certain
statements made by the Illinois Stats
ZeitunC regarding the Encyclopaedia
Britannica are quoted. AS these state
ments are grossly inaccurate. l should
appreciate your giving space in your
columns to this letter.

and further, "by developing an Ameri-
can encyclopedia as our reference work
In place Of the Encyclopedia britannica.
which hardly mentions our Declaration
Of Independence"
The above statement IN regard to the
Declaration of Independence IL incor-
rect. The eleventh edition OF the Ency-
clopmdia britannica does not merely
mention the Declaration of Indepen-
dence II has an elaborate article on the
Declaration. Volume XIV, y 372-3I3.
This article. which was written by an
American, gives a most readable account
of the circumstances OF the signing and
publication of the Declaration Of indie
pcndence. az well rs n very valuable and
instructive discussion Of the underlying
theory of the Declaration and It's infu-
enCe upon American legal and constitu-
tional development. II an American
schoolboy wished to know what the
Declaration stands for he could not do
better than read the Britannica. Fur
thermore. the political conditions In the
Colonies which led up to the Declaration
of Independence are most exhaustively
treated In the article on the United
states. this also being the work OF an
American. Professor +. J. Turner OF Har-

But aside from this. what 7 rart'cu-
