AGAINST HATE Editor, The Citizen: We doubt the value of hate pro: grams on the sent out as| informative matter. Since the first World War, propaganda has been looked askance radio, by more intelli- gent folks in the end, it! has proven to have a harmful kick back on the peace to follow. The younger generation carries in its mind the idea of an inferior, evil, enemy people, that to erase when the w of prac- tical living return. We cannot af- ford to release hate over the radio, where it reaches more millions than ever books could. It also costs a lot of money that might be bet- ter spent in or directions. If government spends money on ar- tists to promulgate ideas, they should be of the type of Orson Wells, whose broadcasts are a fine! example of blending good feeling among the Americas. Instead of; pulling down and defaming, ob-} vious evils of times such as these, we should look ahead to the com- ing peace. Not by plan, but by| thinking rightly. Then planning is| easy. | Truly, C.G;. Hampstead, N.
