Are YOU aware that there are

Mr.. William Randolph Hearst.
San Simeon, Calf,
Dear Mr.. Hearst:
I wish TO personally plead that
i you will continue to do all in
your power to prevent the entry
OF the United States into the
European war. Also that you will
extend every effort to prevent the
use Of American ships in European
or African waters, and the use of
the United States Navy to convoy
British ships in European or
African waters.
As a member OF the officers re-
serve corps for over 10 years, l
have been an ardent student Of
military science and tactics in
Guiding modern mechanical war
fare, and agree with your recent
views as set forth in your column
I'm The News"
firmly believe that the United
States aid at this late date will
not only prove to be futile. but
will also serve to seriously weaken
our own national defense.
1 also believe that no present
combination of allied forces can
check the advance of the Axis
powers in Europe, Asia Minor or
Africa. and any attempt on our
part to do so will not only end in
failure, but the final result will
be humiliating and possibly disas-
trous. Why must we take this un-
necessary step and contribute TO
our own insecurity:
Respectfully yours,
WAYNE FOX.
Dear Mr.. Hearst:
HERE'S a thought for you. Hope
j i you like 1t.

suggestion that l am going to
make and that is, that II your
article had ended with the list OF
the United States senators and
congressman with their addresses
at Washington, Ii would have re-
suited in a landslide of protests to
our so-called Washington repre-
sentatives with regard to the
demonstrated lack of concern In
the present labor situation.
Have discussed this article with
several persons today, and frankly,
none of them knew the names OF
their senator or congressman and
l doubt would know where to
check up and get this information
Something which think every

Nevertheless. / should like to
say that the real beauty of Mexico
is to be observed In only one
manner-by air.
I'll never forget that short hop
made in January from Browns
Vile, Texas, to Mexico City. You
look down and see crazy-quilt
of patches in color such as one
never thought existed. The bright
green and yellow which one asso-
eiates with Van Gogh's paintings
rich colors which one says only

Dear Sir:
YOUR column I'm the News" in
i the April 9Th issue OF the En-
aminer constituted one OF the
finest and most courageous edi-
torials published In any newspaper
In recent years. II points the arrow
OF scorn at the target OF democ-
racy's weakness-our selfish, me-
iocre and self-perpetuating
political machine.
Moreover. in calling attention TO
the fragrant abuses OF the rights
of other groups now practiced by
labor, II emphasizes that II democ-
racy il 20 survive every citizen
must appreciate that our system
OF government demands the per-
Torrance OF the duties OF citizen
ship as strongly rs the assertion
of individual rights.
Such a message as yours per-
forms a public service in arousing
the public conscience TO view with
alarm the dangers of class war
fare fomented by labor racketeers
and condoned by eowardly public
officials. The times call for sacri-
flee. teamwork, and inspired lead
ership.
May your challenging words
inaugurate crusade toward the
2 attainment Of these essential eIe-
ments Of our American freedom.
