Dear Sir:
r WANT To congratulate YOU

opinions expressed In the column

OF the journal, on Friday, the
2Srd.
You are right. The British are
not only more experienced, but
far more democratic than we. In
fact, they have the only truly
democratic government left In the
world. And II they don't like a
thing they say 80.
This "see no evil. hear no evil,
think no evil" policy advocated
here by many misguided persons,
gets no one anywhere. The reason
why they adopt II Is either be-
cause they are too stupid 10 think
for themselves, or because they
are persuaded any criticism OF the
administration IL nothing less than
high treason. They are afraid that
Jail awaits any one who expresses
'disapproval. And perhaps they are
right. Jail probably does await

shaping.
