The text and tone of the Iranian

Travellers from the east today
were quoted in several newspapers
as saving that nearly 100000 Rus

are now facing the Iranian border.
Gen. Archibald Wavell, COM
mander of British forces in the
east, was reported moving large
detachments into position con-

Dear Mr.. Hearst:
TT HAS been on my mind for
weeks to write you expressing
- my gratitude for the splendid
effort you have made 10 keep the
American people on their feet, in
stead of dangling like parachutists
from q gigantic and fantastic prop
uganda airplane. designed TO carry
them down into the abyss OF war.
"Facilis est discensus." but for
the supplemented, happy-go-lucly
Americans who will have TO pay In
blood and tears for this deception,
many decades may pass before
return again TO solid ground.
Not only has your patriotism

won my admiration and esteem
but you have taken a stand to
something so near TO my heart
that although i am an elderly In
valid who finds letter writing diff
cult and wearisome, / feel that
must tell you OF my gratitude for
what you are doing against vivisec-
ton of animals.
This dreadful imitation of the
design OF true medicine and mock
cry of the purpose of the healing
art, should have terminated with
other horrors OF the dark ages,
and yet to the shame of modern
science, this demoniacal sadism
has been permitted to expand. and
even to become respectable.
One has only TO read the beauti-
full oath of Hippocrates, to be con-
WINGED that the charlatans who
favor vivisection should be denied
the right to practice medicine.
VIII you be kind enough to tell
me what practical steps may take
to aid In this cause.
1t Is disconcerting that the
United States of America Is filled
with torture chambers In which
the poor little friends of mankind
are permitted to suffer and die.
Where Is our much Wanted civil
zation?
In closing I should like to say
that I consider your column I'm
the News" the best editorial Opin-
ion furnished by any newspaper In
this country.
Very sincerely yours,

An extraordinary feature Of the
case Is that the New Dealers, while
stacking up taxes, are doing all
possible to destroy the power of
the people to pay taxes and pur-
chase necessities.
There Is a war against advertis-
Ing, instalment purchases, and
against production to such an ex-
tent that millions will lose their
Jobs.
As business and industry de-
pend on purchases by the people,

surely be drastically reduced.

Dear Mr.. Hearst:
v TOU are certainly producing
wonderful articles which
must be of great help In
keeping our country out OF war.
The American people can never re-
pay you for the great work you
are doing.
Today's article recalling what
jefferson told the American peo-
pie Is most timely. 1t Is most
unfortunate that most of our repre-
sentatives In Washington have got
ten so far away from their people
at home. II Is high time that they
be made TO realize whom they are
representing.
You are right in advocating cleo
ton of the representatives once
every year and the senators every
two years, a. well a. the Presi-
dent.
May I offer another suggestion
that no candidate be allowed TO
spend any money for election but
that the government buy outright
an equal amount of advertising for
each candidate, furnish an equal
amount OF radio time, and have
each candidate appear at central
places for the voters to meet them
but all ut government expense.
IL IL impossible TO have good gov
eminent when a candidate spends
four or five times more for cleo
ton expenses than he receives dur
Ing the time he is In office. II Is
only natural that he must listen
TO the man who furnishes the
money.
Wishing you continued good
health, am

There it stands, you approach t with awe, The finest school you You remember every tree and lane, The gardeners cottage with the weather-Vane Treesshaded walks again meet your view The old dining hall where you grabbed about the stew The chapel-Fnelowed, trine Gothic, fvy.covered library where you grew philoSophic,- The dormitory buildings surrounding mall, Slightly in the background the old science hall. Dotted here and there buildings look strange, You note many things that a definite change. But the chapel bell sounds the same tune And as you stroll the campus you the same moon. There's the hockey held There's the tennis courtl The administration oce where you often caught short So much looks different much looks the same, But you miss some element you cannot name As you roam the campus the extensive grounds, And hear again the familiar sounds, The rising bell, the class songs, Train whistle In the distance the call gongs.
