that most Christians are decent
people, and that it is the few
who are no good.
The same is true of the Jew
ish people. They have their
faults, but what race is perfect?
You take the faults of a few
Jews, exaggerate them ire
mendously, and want to make
the millions of decent. law
abiding Jews suffer for it.
The head of your church, the
Pope. a great man and a true
humanitarian, has condemned
the racial persecution and the
.Nazi savagery which you seem
to approve of. Your speeches
have certainly been un-ChriS-
tian and lacking in tolerance.
If Hitler (whom the Pope is
considering communicating
had written them, he could not
have made them any more
venomous.
I regret that Catholic priest
should stoop so low as to adopt
such foul methods in an effort
to regain his lost prestige.
TOLERANCE.
The Washington times., 1938-12-24

short time ago we were led to
believe that it is only a one
religion persecution, but, thanks
to our wideawake press and our
able leaders, we will united be
able to curb the destruction Of
our religious liberties and rights.
Let's put into practice peace
on earth, good will to men," by
taking a refugee into our home.
We will not only give perse-
cuted human a new lease on life,
but will also solve most Of our
personal and national problems.
Jesus, in His Interpretation OF
the Talmud, said that those who
aid their fellowmen are like the
tree that bears good fruit and
is blessed by all that look upon
them and are nourished by his
fruits. May you and each OF US
be a fruit-bearing tree for our
prosecuted brethren abroad, and
the Lord will without fail bless
us, our dear, beloved, free coun-
try and our homes.

Internal Expansion

The whole cause Of memploy-
ment in this country is our fail
ure to expand and develop into
areas that are underpopulated'
and underdeveloped. The sur:
plus populace of the big cities:
the whole Eastern seaboard, in
fact-will never have enough
jobs to go around again, unless
we expand. Why not survey the.
lands of the Northwest and
Southwest, and make large land
grants tax free for a specific
time? This would mean new
cities, new markets, new indus
tries. It would give something
substantial and far better than
