Dear Sir:
VOUR column In the paper each
/ day gives us all . lot to think
about; the various topics you dis
cuss are all interesting. well writ
ten and contain food for thought.
Some Of your ideas I cannot agree
with, but even 20. the sincerity
that they inspire IL worth much.
The greatest thing your column
ever did for me was TO give me
q clear-or q lot clearer than !
had before--idea of the Sermon
on the Mount" that you published
recently and which you elaborated
on at length.
We are wont to brag of our CIV
iiization. We read OF the wars and
bIoodshed Of Caesars time. but did
you ever think that all those old
worthless were Q bunch Of pilters
TO the ruthless killings
and destruction we see going on
now:
And another thing.
Look ut all those peace pal
aces" that have been erected al
Geneva. The Hague. etc. to say
nothing of the monuments-alI
dedicated to peace on earth good
viii TO men.
Well, II shows that something is
wrong.
Heretofore we have been deal
ing with effects; now We have got
to deal with the cause. And you,
and your column, Mr.. Hearst. are
the one to do tor at least. get
IL started.
Remember when you studied
French? You first had 10 learn 1t.
Then you had to practice IL and
the more YOU practiced 1t, the
more proficient you became. Now
here Is my theory: the trouble
with the world today Is they don't
know the Sermon on the Mount
or the Golden Rule. Our preach
ers are shooting over our heads.
They have got to stream line their
teaching to dovetail In with the
Golden Rule and teach the fact
that a departure from this rule
carries with II . penalty. When
people do this. we will not need
peace palaces that cost millions.
wars will cease, labor troubles will
he ironed out.
Understand I do not say that
Christianity Is q failure; but the
application of II certainly has been
a failure. And until this appIIca-
ton is changed we will have q
return Of just what we are going
through now. It will only be a
question Of time.
Yours truly,
LOUIS b. RAYMOND.

The Detroit Times,
Detroit. Michigan,
Gentlemen:
Attention of the Editor;
IT Is quite surprising that q high
i grade newspaper like The De-
troit Times would stoop so low as
to call politicians rats" as you
have in the first column article on
the front page OF your issue under
date OF April Sth. 1t occurs to the
writer that you do not seem to
realize that In order to have rep
resentative government the popu-
lace must vote for their candidate,
and to have candidates IL IL nee
essary to bring forth politicians.
We have been informed several
months ago that the next step
toward setting up a dictatorial
regime In the United States would
be manifested by a subsidized cam
