Dear Mr.. Hearst:
IVOUR article of May 2L on

serve as an inspiration not only TO
sociologists, but to all thinking
people. You say:

and circumstances Of their
carly life, and then grodu-
ated into crime by our

Now these facts should he ac-
knowledged by any thoughtful per-
son. together with the fact that
no one has any control over their
,early environment. and cIrcum-
stances Of their early life-there-
fore the so-called criminal Is the
product of fate or n fate that could
be favOrably altered II society
decided on IAN ounce of proven
ton rather than a pound of cure"
by dealing with the cause rather
than the effect, which as you well
know is chiefly economic.
And since IL is generally ack-
nOwledged that society can Ito a
great EXTENT control the economic
conditions of its citizens and pros
Ipective citizens, then society has
failed through Its political selfish
ness. indifference and traditional
bigotry.
And as your article is a psyche

struction, and n noble inspiration
to all thinking people. may as
an obscure individual urge you TO
continue the good work by fire.
