o1n Conùniunism. No intelligent per- son in this, country wants what is generally understood to be Commun- îsu.u as, it exsists5 ln Russia, but the sort of attack mnade on it *by Mrs. l)illing is almiost, tragic in its futility,. Shie apparently waves the banner, e rects-a straw nman, and then uses the stiposed -danger (À ConiLniuiiisnîi to attack a lot of. tliings she cither (tocls.tiot like or does not utndcrstanid, orAboth. For exauuile, shec endorses thîe ac- cuSationi that' ini the entire faculty of lNortliwvesteýri university, "Not one rel)resents an clenient (le(icatcd to the. upliolding and preservation l of Aineri ,can i mstitutiolîs and, hieritages." W\hat arrant nonsense! ,Notie but a ve-. ignorant.or extrenîely prejudiced 'tnd dangerously illogical person could inake a statemient like that.

As 1 listeiied to MIrs. l)illing today, 1 remembered .hoN, uiot long ago, a, splendid course of lecture-, on world affairs was given in that sauîuechurcli by Mrs. WVright, wb%-o ivas sponsored by the League of. WVonen Voters. I -wished for ber clear, intelligent fair-minded înfor- niation on the subject ini question, untinge( with personhal anîimosity. 1 believe what Ms iln tells is 'À bier nnbappy imipressions of Russia. 1 ýrca( the sanie st .ory in lbooks and unagazinè' arti'cles writtcn by People wlio have studied Russia verv thor- ('ugll. Some of these Writers wbo are not superficial or prejudjced sec into tlhe past for causes, see more tban onîe. side of the present, and look into. the. future hoping, that sonîething better miay corne ofit. I l)clicvc with ýMrs.. Dilling that lead!ers in Soviet Russia would like tri sec Commiunism slread *over, the entire world. M aurice Ulnuhi. tells uis so, aid l le further states tbat the Comntnist party, of Russia wouldl tvelconîe anotlier World war b)ecause àit ould prel)are the soil, for their scd( as nothing else could. He tells us that the Communiisîs deplore al* ail*truistic miovemnents, realizing that they cannot make headivay wlîere there is a marked effort I)v upper classes of society to give a fair deal in every wav to tlîe less privileged. Inu tlier wordls, where a unildly level- ing p)rpccss starts volunîtarily from the toi) dotvn, goo(l will and better tunes resuilt and an explosion froin the bottomn cannot be successful. Oui- Ibest h.listoriauis, economnists, social workers and iiisters realize that. The3y are not -Reds" because they liave tliat philosoI)bv; they. are not unpatriotic because they have an. in- terniational outlook, or because thev nma%, rot helieve ini spending more hliisto' prepare for auîother - %ar. It secuns, ratber a paradox that -Mrs. Dilling sliould tel] us the sbock- ig story of the anti-religious camn- paign ini Russia*and. tlen talk against our Christian idleals andl the men who inost intelligentlY and earnestIv Dac Editor, WiLmFTT1£ LIIEz: The world will flot go to bell if we spend even a part of our timue in keeping it f romn going there. Enough people are spending all. of their time discouraging everyone tbey contact. Why does tuot somebody try to make someone, feel good? 0f course it is mhuch easier to. push. over than to. build up, but look what you have when it us over. Now, instead of talking the Communistic side of this question, why don't we find some way. to keep peopleý fromu létting, tbem- selves get1 that low., You know as well as I' that We canl't accept such, things as doingý away with Christian- ity, so let's appreciate what we have. Why can't we go to church and get a few good tboughts to ride on for " few days? Besides t bat, why. isn't ît worth whie to have a helpful word or thought for. a fellow who needs' it? What these men need - u st a lot, of help,' and don't think a good word does any harmu. In place of submitting al our friends to the horrible ideas of star- vation and the fear of it, why not promote helping to get some. food *0 the ones who need it? Witb 50 littie effort we could make the infernal picture. into one of supreme happi- ness. Most people we talk to are so hungry for a good cheerful word, we must be able to find sonjeone who Acan be of help. 1AIl in aIl, I do believe that if we express a littie cp urage some one will get help' and certainly enough plain courage will overcome any obstacle.' The banker wants the courage of the fellow who swings the pick or hammrer, and that fellow could do a lot with a little encouragement f rom the banker. We have painted enough of this1 sour stuif. Let's start a few good things going. '-Let's go ont of our way 'to hieip the- fellow who thinks lie doesn't care.
