Dear Sir:
CONGRATULATIONS, sir, on
~ your Easter peace proposal.
Your Pittsburgh editorial convey
ing the Easter peace message of
Pope Plus was an Inspiration to all
true Christian Americans.
Will you not continue to ham,
mer away at this peace offensive:
Cannot all American forces
against war including our anti
war committees. the Catholic and
other churches be united In a great
and powerful peace crusade:
The war-promoters would not
dare to beIittIe this move, having
been started by Pope Plus. for In
so doing they would insult every
Catholic in the land.
This Is the great opportunity to
save the world from endless war
and then communism, worldwide.
Won't you, Mr.. Hearst, unite all
our anti-war forces in such a
peace offensive?
Representative Ludlow already
has such a resolution before the
Congress.
What America needs Is more w.

Dear Sir:
VOU may remember I wrote you
j a long time ago, resenting an
article written by you. which I
read In our local paper.
Naturally when one reads any
thing that Is unfair or seems to
cast a slur. one is quite ready to
criticise and even tell the writer
In no uncertain terms what the
reader thinks of him. I am afraid
that is just what ! did to you.
In these days good deeds and
courageous outspoken words are
taken as a matter OF course, and
soon forgotten.
After reading the enclosed
really cannot let same pass unno-
ticed without saying a very sin
cere thank you"
IL certainly was brave gesture
on your part in making such out
spoken statements. particularly
when there are 80 many Italians
living in your city. and who nat
urally would deeply resent such
words against Mussolini.
May you suffer no harm from
same, and II I misjudged you In
any way before please accept my
apology, as know so many people
go through life misjudged and mis-
understood.
That little poem entitled "Not
Understood" Is TO my mind n gem,
and conveys q world OF meaning
in n few verses.
On behalf Of all Canadians, and
particularly my fellow Australians,
let me again thank you for your
sincere remarks regarding the well
fare and safety of our two coun-
tries
