Dear Mr. President:-
Please find attached Booklet, treating
on National conditions, including Organized Labor Activi-
ties.
On Page 25, you will find the outline
of a method whereby both labor and industry can be
effectively controlled for the duration of the War.
This method can be more successfully
applied by a man heretofore entirely unknown in public
affairs.

in National chaos.
Their control is simple, with the properly applied con-

Foreword
This work has but one purpose, namely, to assist in the preserva
tion of Democracy by recalling to our minds the necessity for its
birth, the sacrifices required for its creation and its blessings to man'
kind.
Plainly, concisely and, at times when seriousness demands, even
harshly setting forth the present danger of its downfall, the time has
come when continued evasions mean Death.
IMPORTANT
Criticisms, unaccompanied by definitely proposed improvements,
are not only unfair but CHEAP. Therefore, herein they are set forth
To read the Foreword carefully will afford
in detail.
a much better understanding of the book.
With an axe that needs no grinding, the Author hews to the line
and lets the chips fall where they may.
Part One carries the mind back over the thousands of years in
which Man has struggled for individual freedom.
Part Two compares Mussolini's, Hitler's and Lincoln's personal
comments on governing methods that are the base of the present
war. It also gives condensed summations of present day problems.
Part Three outlines the foundation of possible lasting peace and
reminds us that patriotism is an individual responsibility.
It is the highlights of the past, present and future struggles of
mankind, condensed into ninety minutes of timely reading.

No. 245
URUGUAYAN WOMAN LEADER
VISITING UNITED STATES
Señora Maria Emilia Castellanos de Puchet, distin-
guished teacher and educational leader from Durazno,
Uruguay, is at present visiting the United States as a
guest of the Department of State.
Here primarily to study aspects of vocational gui-
dance, Señora de Puchet is finding many other sources of
interest, and much that she feels will be adaptable to
the schools in her native city.
Señora de Puchet is Director of the Institute Magis-
terial in Durazno, and President of the Asociación de
Maestros. Upon her return there, she plans to hold a
meeting of teachers at which ideas formulated and new
methods viewed during her stay in the United States can
be discussed, and ways planned by which they may be put
into practice locally.
Señora de Puchet is intensely interested in our
library system as applied to education, and remarks upon
the fact that libraries here do not wait for people to
come and use them but, rather, make every effort to be
of service to the public, and particularly to make their
facilities available to schools.
Señora de Puchet is greatly beloved in her native
town of Durazno, and a mass meeting was held in her honor,
before her departure to the United States, to pay her
homage and to bid her farewell.
She has brought with her two unusual documents, from
the children of Durazno's primary schools to the children
of the United States, and from the students and teachers
of Durazno's secondary schools to the President of the
United States. These messages, hand printed in specially
prepared notebooks, bear a warm and sincere Pan-American
greeting.
Señora de Puchet will visit schools and libraries
throughout the country during her visit here, and also
hopes to visit Puerto Rico before returning to Uruguay.

Dear Mr. President:
We take pleasure in sending to you, under separate
cover, a copy of "America and Asia, Problems of Today's War
and the Peace of Tomorrow", two lectures delivered recently
in Los Angeles under the auspices of the Associated Colleges,
by Mr. Owen Lattimore, well known authority on the Far East.
Mr. Lattimore's twenty years of research and writing
in China and the Chinese frontiers, and his understanding of
the power and potentialities of the peoples of Asia, make his
interpretation of the problems of war and peace in the Far
East an enlightening and prophetic document which we believe
you will enjoy.
Respectfully yours,

Dear Mr. President:
received tarn
Under separate cover, I am forwarding to you a picture
of your good wife which was taken by our photographer shortly
after her arrival at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. It is such an
excellent photograph, I thought you might enjoy having it.
It will doubtless bring back to your mind the happy hours which
you spent here in Hawaii.
Incidentally, I recently returned from a two-week visit
with George and Carmen Baker. They have been taking care of our
little daughter during the war.
George and Carmen, along with many others, have expressed
their desire to return to Hawaii as "tourists" after the war.
The present prospects of that happy occasion seem to be getting
brighter.
In the meantime, George is busying himself in the ship-
repairing business, and I believe is doing a very worthwhile job.
Very best Aloha.

Dear Mr President:
On August 9th Mrs Elizabeth Abele of 1097 S. Third Street
Memphis, Tennessee, a lovely and patriotic lady, sent you as a
present a beautiful patriotic quilt which contrained the names
of all the presidents of the United States.

The quilt which was something of curoisty was displayed for
several weeks in the show window of one of Memphis leading
department stores.
I realize that the burden of war takes all of your time,
but a word of recognition from one of your secretaries will
make happy the heart of a dear old lady and will doubtless be
recognized by the citizens of Memphis who hold Mrs Abele in
high esteem.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. President:
The boys in our Industrial Art classes of the
Alexander Mitchell School have been making canes from
discarded broomsticks and scrap pieces of wood. Three
hundred and ninety-nine of these canes have been sent
to the Red Cross for distribution to disabled service-
men in hospitals. The lads in these classes are much
too young to fight, but sincerely hope that by making
these canes, they are doing their part in this war. We
decided to send the four hundredth cane to you.
Mr. Heiden, the teacher, has a son in the
Marines stationed somewhere in the South Pacific, and
knowing you to be a Marine Father too, we put the Marine
Insignia on your cane. We hope that you will accept it
with our best wishes.
Yours sincerely,

occupy with the coming of peace, and that it is suggested that Dec. 17th, which will
be the 40th anniversary of the first flight at Kitty Hawk, be chosen for such a
gathering. The President says that the one thing necessary for this occasion would
be the presence of Mr. Orville Wright. He stated that "we all know that to you and
Wilbur man-controlled flight was intended as an adjunct to peace throughout the world.
We all hope that after the wer, aviation will have a commanding position in main-
taining peace." He asks that Mr. Wright reserve Dec. 17th "in the hope that you and
I will both be able to come to a dinner in Washington on that date."-The President's

Letter from John Ardizoni, 430 South Western Ave,, Los Angeles,
Calif., 12/10/43, to the President. Proposes to give a series
of light and grand opera with worth-while fine voices, preferring
disabled veterans, and to give the performances for the benefit
of the American Red Cross. States if the U, S. Govt. can budget
the same kind of a plan that was so effective for the Emergency
Education years ago, the success now, he judges, would be
excellent from every point of view, He desires to be appointed
as a producer, teacher and manager for the said project. Encloses
photograph of Richard John Wigren, one of his pupils, a disabled
veteran of the present war.

Dear Mr. Early:
Several years ago, in connection with the
Seadrome development, I had the pleasure of taking
dinner with the President and members of his family
at the White House. The evening was spent viewing
motion pictures of seadrome model experiments and
discussion of the project. The President was great-
ly interested at that time and, in view of the import-
ance of transatlantic airways as a post-war develop-
ment, I believe that he would appreciate an up-to-date
presentation of the proposal. Therefore, I am sending
one of our 1943 reports for transmission to the
President.
Thanking you for your courtesy, I am

Dear Mr. Early:
I appreciate your letter of December 2, 1943
with reference to our 1943 Seadrome report. My only
hope is that the President can find the time to look
it over. In that connection, I believe the topic
which would interest the President more than any other
will be found in Section 4, Page 28; International
Aspects of the Seadrome System.
Sincerely yours,
