The first half of the novel is fictious and the later half deals with a lot of what our young american people are thinking, I am twenty-four, mingled with fiction to keep the story moving properly. My ambition is to be a real diplomat in any field and I have tried to write the last few chapters in this manner; they deal with possible political set-ups which have been spoken of by some at random. Many of the ideas put forth are not my own but they do show what some americans think; I could not personally endorse all of them because they are contrary to my views.

Dear Mr. President: I am just a humble widow with an only son of military age working in a tailor shop earning a living for my son and myself. Yet, I have been watching your pro- gress with great interest. As I sit in my shop and think of what marvelour things you are doing for the workers and people like me, I also wonder what I, a simple worker, can do for such a great person. Something that no one else had ever seen yet worthy of such a noble heart. Finally, it struck me that a basket of pumpkin seeds had never before been concocted and sould be both novel and unique. It took several weeks to complete it but it was worth the energy. I only hope that it contained not only riches but health, happiness, and faith -faith of the American people and others peoples in a government such as you are striving for - a democracy. I believe that had you been in a less ignorant envirn- ment than the United States you would have been termed as a God for our noble deeds. But we of the United States are too educated to call you that so we elect you to a sacred office -that of President for a third term. Something the greatest men in history have never been able to attain. And, I might say, you are doing a splended job! For example, your work for victims of infantile para- lysis has made your birthday almost equal (in popularty) to that of Jesus Christ.
