We feel very strongly against the present hue and ery by the city police in carrying out their present so-called stand sare “indecent exposure”. One reason we like the city is the apparent unaffected attitude so prevalent in ail cities. Your police will destroy the simplicity if they persist in their present attitude. After all, “indecent exposure” as so-called by the police—is only an. individual patrolman’s -own idea—there are prudish con- stables as well as amongst the Yours truly, EDGAR M.

He would launch a take tine ose to tne dudes. 14 vast economic aid program throughout the retarded sec- tions of the world and scale down the rearmament pro- gram in a massive fashion. One of the arguments used by Mr. Bevan is that the! Soviet Union is really a colossus, with feet of clay. He thinks that the West has deceived itself as to the strength of the Soviet Union. He insists that it would be impossible for Russia, with a limited steel] output, to have restored the ravages of the German Army and to have built up its military might and submarine fleet to as powerfd) status as the West believes. If this is true, he says, Communism is certainly more efficient in methods than the West. The conclusion of Mr. Bevan may be mor, less than fact,’ but, nevertheless, it would be a dan- gerous thing for the democracies of the world to gamble their security on an unestablished fact, Certainly, the Soviet Union was more seriously crippled by the ravages of the German Army than the outside world has believed. it is possible that all of the destruction has not been over- come. Nevertheless, one finds it difficult to doubt the con- “more than ru- clusion of military experts as to the effective power of the Soviet war machine. If it is not as strong as the West gen- erally believes, then the Soviet Union has pulled one of the biggest bluffs in history and gotten away with it. The easiest way to finish a acd job i is to get to work. After the start is made, the finish is near at hand. It’s getting so these days that you can’t judge a man’s bank account by the size of the automobile he drives. You can get free advice almost any day of the year and work out of the difficulty for the next six months. Every man and woman has to settle the problems.of life for himself or herself. No one else can do the job. Peace is not a matter of standing idle.
