McIntyre,\nThe White House,\nWashington, D. C.\nMy dear Mr. McIntyre,\nDuring the business depression, the mails\nbeing light, I used my secretary to write between one and\ntwo hundred stories in manuscript, under the title, \"Stories\nGrandfather liked to tell.\"\nOne of the Boston publishers learned that I had\nthese stories, and asked me if I would not gather a few of them\ntogether that they might publish them in a book. I did this,\nand sent them to Boston. They were submitted to a number of the\nBoston highbrows, who pronounced them \"excellent.\"\nThey will be published this week, under the title,\n\"In God we Trust, and Why Not?\"\nThe book 1s not a preachment but undertakes to show\nby incident and illustration, just how good times are likely to\ncome back. The opening chapter tells of the impending troubles\nin Europe.\nI think the President would enjoy this book. It\nis a book he can read in less than an hour, as 1t is small.\nTHE CRAIG RIDGWAY & SON COMPANY\nM. H.

S. Since dictating the above letter, I find I have a photo\nof the cartoon printed by the Chicago Tribune nine years ago.\nI am enclosing this, The first chapter of my book refers to\nthis cartoon, and what Uncle Sam 1s saying to these men. Uncle\nSam is congratulating them on their wisdom in keeping out of the\ntrouble, and rehearsing what he got into by mixing up in the \"mess\"\nAs he expresses it, \"Cussed for not going 1n, cussed for\ngoing in too late, and then after helping the Allies, and saving\nthe day by lending money and men, 1s held in contempt because we\nwant our money back. \"tc\nThis is all referred to in the first chapter of the\nbook.

Said Mrs. Herr, the banker's wife:\n\"Why, Hannah, you were ab-so-lute-ly ree-dic-u-lous! What in the world did you expect to do against that great\narmy with only an old stove poker?\"\n\"Vell, Mrs. Herr,\" replied Hannah, \"I reckon I didn't 'spect to do noddings yet a' ready, but say, folks, I LEFT 'EM\nKNOW VAT SIDE I VAS ON, DIDN'T I?\"\n\"IT'S AN OLD SPANISH CUSTOM\"\nWhen a Speaker is asked to make an address in a town in Spain, special pains are taken for the occasion. A group\nof ten or more of the most important and best known gentlemen of the city is selected to be the Speaker's \"Fiadoros\"\n(meaning one who answers for another).\nThese \"Fiadoros\" seat themselves on stage or platform. When the Speaker arises to address the meeting, the\n\"Fiadoros\" also arise and stand with him during the whole time of the speech. Their standing presence adds emphasis\nand importance to the message and tends toward brevity.\nAfter 5 days, return to\nCRAIG RIDGWAY & SON CO.,\n?\nCOATE\nE\nP. O.

Figure it out, boys, and drop me a post card.\nCRAIG\nCOMPANY\nSay, boys, how do you explain this puzzling situation?\nYou all had a lot more ships and men sunk by the U-boats during the\nwar than I had. You were in the front and back yard of the war\nO DAY\nduring the four years it was raging, with pieces of it flying over\nthe fence. Both sides violated your neutrality, but you sat tight\nand stood pat even though history knows you are a proud, husky,\nand courageous bunch. You stayed out of the war.\nI was on the other side of a great ocean. Three or\nfour thousand miles from the nearest cannon. My folks didn't care\nto mix in the fight; at least, they said so as late as November,\n1916. They thought it was a kind of a family row.\nBut we joined up in April, 1917, and announced that we\nwere fighting to save civilization. What I can't exactly under-\nstand is why you fellows didn't hop in, too, if old Mr. Hiram W.\nCivilization was in such danger.\nHowever, to make a long story short, I finally got in,\nafter being cussed for not getting in and then cussed for getting\nin so late; raised four million soldiers, sent a couple million\nto France, left a lot of 'em over there, ran up the national debt\nfrom one billion to twenty-six billions, helped the Allies with\nships, ships, and more ships when they desperately needed them;\nsent food when they couldn't get enough elsewhere, lent 'em money\nwhen they were broke, sent 'em men when their lines were cracked\nand their backs to the wall; and, finally, by sheer weight of\nresources, tipped the scales to victory.\nIn the peace negotiations, based on the fourteen points,\nwhich soon got more or less lost in the shuffle, I helped the Allies\nto some choice pickings in the way of several million square miles\nof territory, but when I wanted the little island of Yap they\nblocked me and offered, instead, the mandate for Armenia, which\nthey haven't been able to get anybody to accept to this day. There's\nno oil there.\nI even kept lending 'em billions after the fighting was\nall over and Civilization had been saved from King George's Cousin Bill.\nNow here we are, eight years after the war. They call me\na selfish, grasping, dollar-pinching, miserly Uncle Shylock.\nThey all like you boys who stood on the side lines during\nthe scrap, and they don't like me, who lent 'em a hand.\nIt gets me, boys. How do you explain it? Would I be as\npopular as you if I'd stayed out or would you have been as unpopular\nas I if you'd gone in? Figure it out, boys, and drop me a post card.\nWILLIAM H.

On\npage 10 1s an extract from the editorial. In 1926, when the\nsame was published, it seemed to strike the nail on the head\nso perfectly that I cut it out and put it in my scrap book. I\nwanted the publisher to print it, but he did not want, for some\nreason, any pictures in the book.\nI had a photo made of the cartoon, which I\nam enclosing, along with the complete editorial. I am having a\ncut made of the picture, and am going to have the text printed\nas a tract to enclose in my correspondence. I got permission\nfrom the Chicago Tribune to use this matter. I think you will\nagree with me that the whole thing is something to start people\nthinking.\nThe book 1s published this week from Boston.\nYours with regards,\nUNCLE SAM INTERVIEWS SOME WELL KNOWN WAR NEUTRALS\nCHOPORATE\nSWEDEN\nDEPARTMENT\npr.7. q-R\nOD\nReg U.

Cor-\nrectly speaking, all that exist are the spiritual verities which\nwooled 20\nmaterial sense audaciously attempts to reverse. We can see,\ntherefore, that there is only one true or real creation or uni-\nverse, composed of countless spiritual ideas, each operating\nreally had\nin its individual capacity in unbroken continuity and suc-\ncess. Hence we begin to understand that in reality there\nare only God's possessions or ideas, which come under no\nlaw of depression, but only of expression.

Could one rightly or reasonably conceive\nzole for\nof any of God's ideas deteriorating in value? No, indeed!\nGod's possessions are ever useful, operative, successfully\nfunctioning under His law of omniaction. Could God's ideas\nlad\nto\nlet\nbecome idle, vacuous, or depletive, and as such become wors\nthan useless? No, they never lapse into baneful encum\nbrances; they are not obstructive or burdensome. Neither\nare they unwanted, undesirable, or wasted. God's ideas are\nblessings. They are fully occupied in expressing right activ\nity.

At that date\nindependent newspapers-those not affiliated with any\npolitical party-were few and far between. Divine wisdom\nthe have\nguided our Leader to avoid the pitfalls and limitations of\nparty politics. In the same month that her paper was started,\nan item in a Boston newspaper read: \"Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy\nhas always believed that those who are entitled to vote should\na lackly for\ndo so, and she has also believed that in such matters no one\nshould seek to dictate the actions of others. In reply to a\ndfllor water\nnumber of requests for an expression of her political views,\nshe has given out this statement:-I am asked, 'What are\nyour politics?'

One without the other is\ncomplete. Together they ensure progress along all right\nes, especially if the reading is done thoughtfully and\nstematically. If it be true that the thinking of a nation is\nrgely influenced by what is read in daily newspapers, how\nimportant it is that Christian Scientists should support this\nclean newspaper and acquaint others with it, to the end\n0]\nGREYSTONE LODGE\nGRANTHURST PARK\nSTAMFORD IN CATSKILLS\nNEW YORK\nmy dear I shall feel\n:T\n:E\n60\nthe booth, Pro need to keep\na dally if if you return\nIt you Hold no\nany Hany been in my horn\noften, / have really had\nthe fact\na forlume taken put of\na the\nstolen, / had to let min ame\ndfllor water\npolicy an zole / lest for all\nfrictory money, no - had to let\nION.\nthem remain m the how\nWe have no Justiction\nof here soldotrocar - at &\nwas in lew Mah\n:T\n:E\nthe time of\n60 DAYS\nI know you like He\nthing and it well your\nmystly foll y\nBeah form is\nhow, C ale for\nThe only time / am a\n/ d they\nam whing in gesden\na morent for\na much\nmost Sm and Willa Reg notch\nSep. 17 1935\nION.\nsep 18th 1935-\npackank up L\nGREYSTONE LODGE\nGRANTHURST PARK\nSTAMFORD IN CATSKILLS\nNEW YORK\nThey dear for & Se have Hand-\njust\nre cerved your note say mg\nwas\nSe dont\nraturng the book- how, do it In\nI had no arthly use\nfor the book and of left\nin the home well only\nbe stolen- - I would like/to\nAle the President smle\nover some the drog ofce\nillentrations has har\nto lovelint smile in the\nworld.

My most beloved subject,\nthe history of mankind taught me many things, which otherwise\nI could probably never see. Through this I learned how to inter-\npret the problems of the world. The most brilliant part of my native\ncountry's (Hungary) history served me with the constant impulse\nof youthful enthusiasm. The spirit of the immortal Hungarian\npoet Alexander Petofi and the high ideals of Louis Kossuth pen-\netrated my whole being to such an extent, that I felt all through those\nyears, that very few men in the course of time in the great history\nof mankind have had SO sincere an admiration for the supreme\nideals (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity), as they have had. These are\nthe words upon the bearing of which, my heart trembles. These are\nthe words, that I believe could even awaken me from my seemingly\neternal slumber. Unable to resist the fortitude and courage\nintensified traditions, my mind wanders back to fifteen years\nago when I bade farewell to the land of the Magyars, in order\nto reach the country of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln,\nBenjamin Franklin, etc.\nI felt a natural yearning as my train reached the border of\nHungary, to cover with kisses, the sweet earth which belonged to\nmy native land. The spirit of 1848 which liberated Hungary from\nthe despotism of the Austrian dynasty, convinced me of the noble\nmotives of the nation which lead them to uncompromising fight\nfor the godly gift-freedom. To deserve this heavenly gift, a nation\nmust have steadfastness of purpose. If this were not enough to\ninspire me to herald noble ideas, to completely strengthen this\ninspiration, I must again turn to the pages of history. Incidentally\nto satisfy the veracity of the saying \"Know thyself,\" I feel that by\nthrowing light upon the history of my family, I will be able to\nidentify one of the sources for my inspiration which has strengthened\nII.\nmy ability to enlighten others. To emphasize, that it is not the\nacquired nobility which elates me, but the truthful facts that the\nTHE HISTORY OF THE\nmajority of my forefathers were acknowledged scholars, writers,\nRAPAPORT FAMILY\nphysicians and learned men of science, the achievements of the Rapa-\nport family should be judged by the service they rendered to Science\nand Humanity.

In the middle of the 16th century there appears\nin Italy a Kohenitic family of the name of Porto. On March 18,\n1540 Rabbi Isaac Porto ha-Kohen obtained from the Duke of\nMantua permission to build a synagogue (Ashkenasic). The name\n6\nof the family is to be derived neither from Oporto, (Portugal) nor\nfrom Fürth (Bavaria), but from Porto near Mantua, where un-\ndoubtedly the above named Isaac Porto ha Kohen lived.- An alli-\nance between the Rabe and Porto families explains the combination\nof the family name in Rapoport; indeed in 1565 officiating in the\nabove-mentioned synagogue of Mantua there is found a Rabbi\nSolomon ben Menahem ha-Kohen Rapa of Venice, while a Rabbi\nHIC\nAbraham Porto ha-Kohen was parnas of the community 1541-76.\nMANE\nHowever, this may be in the middle of the 17th century, authors be-\nBIMVS\nlonging to the RAPAPORT family were living in Poland and\nPTIME\nPer L bron u\nLithuania, the name having undergone the following modifications:\nRapiport, Rapoport, Rapperport and Rappert.-The family spread\nmattie Colvine\nprincipally from Cracow and Lemberg. In the latter place, 1584, was\nborn the famous Talmudist Abraham Rapa von Port (called also\nSchrenzel). In 1650 Rapoports lived in Dubno and Krzemeniec.\nIn the 18th century descendants of R.

About 1750 there were two Rapoports\nin Dyhernfürth (Silesia)-one named Israel Moses and the other\nRabbi Meir; the former came from Pinczow, the later from Krot-\noschin. The sons of the Rapoports of Krotoschin settled in Breslau\nSaffo,\nand Legnitz; in 1818 they adopted the name of Warschauer. Dur-\ning the last 450 years members of the family have been found in\n80 different cities of Europe and Asia.\nRapa (Porto) Menahem Abraham ben Jacob ha-Kohen, Italian\nalata\nRabbi and author lived at Porto in the District of Verona and\nCremona, died Dec. 30, 1596. He was a descendant of the Rapa\nfamily, (Rapa of Porto) but he changed his name to Rapoport.\nHe studied medicine under Victor Trincavella besides Talmud and\nsciences generally. Rapa was a witness of the burning of the Tal-\nmud pursuant to the papal bull of 1553. In 1574 he became Rabbi\nof Cremona. Rapa was the author of several works.

From\n1771-1781 he was lecturing at Alt-Ofen (O-Buda) and from\n1781 until his death he was Rabbi of the city of Papa (Hungary).\nHis liberalism with regard to ritual decisions drew down upon him\nthe displeasure of Chief-Rabbi of Moravia, Mordecai Benet, who\nurged the community of Papa to dismiss him for his liberalism.\nFailing in this they accused him before the Austrian government\nof introducing a new Tora, with the result that he was commanded\nby the government either to rescind his decisions or to support them\nby evidence.

Roosevelt,\nPresident,\naigh\nWhite House,\nWashington, D.C.\n12/16\nIf\nNC.\nDear Mr. President:\nNC.\nI am sending to you, under separate cover, copy of\na book entitled \"Simon, Son of Man. If This is a treatise which\nidentifies Christ as a figure of history and covers, to a great\ndegree, his activities in a period of turmoil very similar to\nthe one we are now going through in the world generally.\nThe identification was made by study by means of\nbackward translations of the sacred works including mainly\nthe new testament of the bible into the original aramaic and\nre-translating it in the life and customs of the people and\nproving the facts by direct statements of the bible.\nThis covers a study of more than thirty years by\nmy brother, John I., who later became associated with John H.\nJordan who was a deep student of theology, who studied for the\npriesthood but could not feel, under the circumstances, that\nhe wanted to be ordained, and returned to the church all of\nthe moneys that had been spent on his churchly pursuits. My\nbrother, similarly, wanted to study for the ministry, but also\ncould not go on for the reason that he found too many things\nthat did not lend themselves to reason.\nOne of the items which bore a considerable influence\non the matter was a. statement that Josephus who was presumed to\nbe a true Jewish historian, wrote his history of the Jews for\nthe purpose of covering up the truth. Searching through this\nstatement it was found that Josephus was a traitor to his people,\nbetraying them to the Romans, and was himself rewarded by a\ngovernorship over one of their provinces after Christ and his\nfollowers were conquered. Manifestly he wrote the history of\nthe Jews under the censorship of his conquerors and was doubt-\nlessly very careful to form his words so that no offense would\nbe given to the Roman emporers.\nThese are facts that are somewhat hidden but have\nbeen long known by their investigators of the subject. How-\n-2-\nDec. 10, 1935.\never the new matter, namely the identification of Christ\nwith a true figure of history as contained in \"Simon,\nSon of Man\" I believe will be interesting to you from\nINC.\nthe fact that we are going through somewhat similar\nturmoils.\nINC.\nThe book rather deifies and exemplifies Christ\nin the position he occupied in the world and does not in\nany way detract from his divinity. It shows him rather\nto have been a character of great achievements and attain-\nments far greater zeal than he was customarily supposed\nto have.\nThe book identifies Christ, which word means\nsaviour or liberator, and which was his title rather than\nhis name, with a figure of history by means of coins\nwhich covered His kingship or reign over the three and\none-half year period in which he was actually \"King of the\nJews\" in his last stand at Jerusalem against the Romans.\nI know if you will have time to read the book\nit will not only be interesting to you, but very\nilluminating, and for that purpose I take pleasure in\nsending it to you in a complimentary manner.\nWishing you full success in your difficult\nproblems, I beg leave to remain\nYours truly,\n329 Wheeler Ave.,\nScranton, Penna.\nRES.\nBacher\npr 7 7\nDecember 16, 1935\n4-6\nMy dear Mr. Demorest:\nYour letter of December thirteenth\nINC.\nhas been received and I want to thank you in\nINC.\nthe President's behalf for the kind thought\nwhich prompted you to send him & complimentary\ncopy of the 1936 Diary and Manual of the Real\nEstate Board of New York, Inc.\nVery sincerely yours,\nJoHause\nM.
