July 6,1939 doka Dear Neighbor Roosevelt:- "/2 I had this grand idea;a neighborly correspondent Ia in all the communities throughout the United States. Just a chatty not a caty one.and than I thought of all the forty-eight states and that manny hundreds of communities they would contain and I came to the conclusion it would be a penance rather than a pleasure to even a neighborly person like you. However I am going to tell you about this particular neighborhood of ours. We have a South Wellfleet Neighborhood Association and we are very proud of what it has accomplished. The Association was founded about a year and a half ago for the purpose of keeping our native and summer colony from becoming itinerant pleasure seekers in other communities; the practice of which if kept up at the present rate of speed will cause towns etc. to exchange names to keep the people in their rightfull places. This no t an appeal of any kind but just a neighborly letter to tell you what we have done. You may be more favored than most and know where South Welfleet is and that Marconi sent his first message, successfully, from here because you are a relative of the sender of that message; but manny people do not and even the encyclopedia gives the credit to New Foundland. Through the diligent work of the chairman of our committee to do something about this spot which is fast becoming just a sand dune, Miss. Margaret Dooley, wehave interested the Italo American Societies of Mass. in this spot and on the anniversary of the grest inventors death, probably in August 1940, it will be suiteably marked, if the present land owner does not restrict us to much hes is not exactly a neighborly sperit. It would be an inspiration to you neighbor Roosevelt to hear the reverance with which these Italians speak the name of Marconi, this place will represent a sort of shrine to them. We have stacks of clippings in the Ittalian language cut from their publications in which the publisher calls it a shame on the Italian people that they did not know of this place and had to have an American woman call it to their attention. X The history of our proceedure makes interesting reading but to long to account at this time, Mr. Frederick B. Ciampi and an Italian artist a personal friend of Marconi who was with him when Mr. Marconi lost his eye in an auto- mobile accident;are the men in charge. Emily Post would remind me that 1 have remained my twenty minutes so I will leave and as no New England visit is complete without a bite to eat I am sending you under separate cover some of my Cape Cod Pine Tree cookies which I hope you will enjoy with a glass of milk or a bit of cheese.

A FORMULA FOR THE RESTORATION OF CONFIDENCE IN NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS ON K. DUPRE. DEAN EARL C. BENDER, REGISTRA tinctive addition of current and historical importance in clarifying the events which altar the social fabric, and threaten the perpetuity of democracy; a fundamental contribution to the literature of eco- nomic theory, treated in a realistic manner; a timely study of cur- rency wars that are pauperizing many countries. The alert reader will promptly see the significance of this strictly up-to-date, systematic and unbiased discussion of the cur- rency problem, viewed from a functional approach; and the treat- ment of causes, methods of conduct and results of the present eco- ent you nomic wars among the major nations of the world. Currency This is the first book to give a historical survey of recent manipulation of the pound sterling in its relation to the dollar, and position to reveal the results of such manipulation on the economic prob- lems of the United States. The study is rich in source material in ph ases support of the principles and facts discussed in the content. It pre- sents in concise form material of exceptional value to the student, appre- teacher, banker, exporter and specialist in foreign trade. ime (37400gm) A formula for the restoration of confidence in national and in- ternational affairs; and a proposal of adjustments that are neces- sary to enable gold to survive as an international yardstick in the changing economic order, will be found of supreme interest to all who read this book. 1 Cloth, Price $1.25 I den ernment ORDER BLANK-ORDER NOW The Christopher Publishing House 1140 Columbus Avenue Boston, Mass. Please send me cop of "NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ASPECTS OF THE CURRENCY PROB- LEM," by Leon G. Halden, for which I enclose $ Name Address C198-3-39 M 43 NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ASPECTS OF THE Currency Problem BY LEON G. HALDEN CHAIRMAN, SOCIAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT, UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON ERSTWHILE ROCKEFELLER SCHOLAR AND CARNEGIE FELLOW Author of Current Problems in Government Japan-Colossus of the Far East "Why did our banks close? Why were we forced to devalue the dollar? Who is not still seeking an answer to these questions We still suffer the consequences of these far-reaching acts, and any logical, comprehensive answer is still "news" of first page impor- tance. This is what we are happy to present in the present volume of Professor Halden's. There is a demand for clearer understanding on the part of teachers, bankers, and business men regarding one of the greatest issues of the day-the value of the dollar in its re- lation to other currencies. This is not solely an academic question, but one of such primary importance to everyone that Professor Halden's answers to the questions involved, and to many others of vital importance, makes this book of special value. Professor Halden is nationally known as an educator, writer and lecturer, a student in the fields of international law and rela- tions, and has gained international recognition from his three recent works, "Japan, Colossus of the Far East", "Current Problems in Government", and "The Diplomacy of the Ethiopian Crisis", the last of which is said to be the only authoritative diplomatic history of the Italo-Ethiopian war. He is Chairman of the Social Science Department, University of Houston, and erstwhile Rockefeller Scholar and Carnegie Fellow. Thus it will be seen that in this latest book of Professor Halden's we are favored with the work of a real scholar, who possesses a thorough and analytical under- standing of international problems; and whose writings are a dis- (Over) THE CHRISTOPHER PUBLISHING HOUSE, BOSTON TON The University of Houston Austin and Holman Streets Houston, Texas July 12, 1939, E.E.

Bryan Starinor I have read, dear Mr. Heusghem, the second book to come from your pen. I can only repeat what I said of the first, If YOUTH I9I4-I8 , namely that it has excellent balance, simplicity, and harmony of narration, which profoundly impress the reader; it is honest, restrained and impartial. Truly it is a most constructive work ! I would emphasize the timeliness of your "DEAR AMERICA", coming at the right moment to express to our friends across the Atlantic the thanks of the France, past and present, which, on the great issues, feels that the ties of traditional friend- ship binding her to the noble American nation are now becoming stronger than ever. Thank you, dear Mr. Heusghem, for thus making yourself the interpreter of France, of her sister Belgium, and of their Allies in the great war. H. Em. Cardinal BAUDRILLART, of the French Academy, Rector of the Catholic Institute. After a beautiful book, this is another beautiful book! I am pleased, dear Mr. Heusghem, to pay to If DEAR AMERICA " the same homage which I was so happy to render to "YOUTH I914- I8 In your first work, you really found expressions worthy of Belgian heroism. To-day you write in most thrilling terms of American friendship. In addition to its literary value, your book is most opportune: as a matter of fact, in a time when our friends are so brilliantly showing that they remember, it is good to give them evidence that we also have not forgot- ten. All my sincere congratulations. Abel HERMANT, of the French Academy. You were good enough, dear Mr. Heusghem, to send me last year a copy of your beautiful book on invaded Belgium. The new work you now give us is a narration equally generous and thrilling. It comes at the appropriate moment to remind our American friends and brothers of a community of ideals for which so many of their soldiers gave their lives. You certainly do well in awakening the sacred fire, the flame of devotion and freedom. Your book will meet with great success in America where it will show that there are hearts which do not forget. It will be a grateful remembrance to the Dead and a wellcome to the living. It is a service you are rendering to the cause we love. Louis GILLET, of the French Academy. Yours Respectfully, Bryan Starinor Dear Mr. Heusghem, Your book " DEAR AMERICA!" is striking. In your pages you have managed to combine, with skilful art, the essential elements of that unforgotable Monument, the su- blime American crusade, You have carried out your task simply and enthu- siastically. You have known where to throw light with tact, and thus have composed a real crystal of which all the fa- cets are symetric. The impression produced on the reader is consequently continuous and seductive. I, who was through the war, and knew the majority of those who are now resurrected in your beautiful pages, am astounded at the successful manner in which you have assembled your facts to serve as a lesson and a precept to the rising generation. Coming as it does at a time when America is once more revolted by German barbarism, it would not surprise me if your book produced a sensation across the Atlantic. For my own part I admire your work and, as a Franco-American, I thank you. Gratefully yours, MORTON-FULLERTON, American author. It is with great reluctance, dear Mr. Heusghem, that I part with II DEAR AMERICA !". I have read it with delight and with great emotion. I don't remember any book more beautifully expressed or that touched me so deeply, and I do appreciate your having allowed me to read it and to keep it so long. It is most opportune and I hope that it will reach the thousands of readers it deserves. All my thanks and all my congratulations. Yours very sincerely and gratefully, John Ridgely CARTER, Plenipotentiary Minister. Yours Respectfully, Bryan Starinor Mr. Fernand Heusghem who published last year a moving book "YOUTH 1914-18", in which he recalled the hard Martyrdom suffered by the Belgians under the German occupation, is giving us to-day another work in the same spirit and which he called If DEAR AMERICA Few books are more timely than this. As a matter of fact, the year I939 has revealed that a new morality is tending to establish itself among nations. This morality is no longer satisfied with the simple assurance, originally prevailing, that Might overrides Right. Its fanati- cism would eventually go farther in affirming peremptorily that Right no longer exists ! It is therefore splendid that a son of Belgium and France should energetically remind the World that Right is happily above all the theories and above all the whims of the tyrants. There are everywhere and perhaps always will be thieves, safe-crackers, forgers of private and public writings. But they fortunately are a minority, while honest people who prefer work to robbery, mutual aid to assassination and do not do to others what they do not wish done to them, are le gion. These sometimes are, it is true, slow to act in the face of crime, especially when it is perpetrated by a great nation. Such crimes are difficult to realize and it takes time for simple and loyal souls to comprehend such facts. But their final reaction is all the more violent and mighty ! In this connection, the attitude of the American people between the years I914 and I918 is a good example which Mr. Fernand Heusghem is certainly right to recall. Future cri- minals may hesitate when confronted with the evidence that punishment does come ! There is no doubt that European peace can still be saved. And books like that of Mr. Heusghem will strongly contribute to eliminate war from the world. Claude FARRERE, of the French Academy If Lafayette, we are here to help the French to liberate their country, just as they once helped us to conquer ours! If Such was the salute of Pershing's soldiers. So a great people, mindful of the past, paid its debt. It is this epoch which Mr. Heusghem revives in the thrilling narration he now gives us. In reading this beautiful historic novel, we hear the American hearts beat with ours for a common cause and it seems that this book enables us to better know the soul of this great people, with which we are linked by the bonds of an. indissoluble friendship that now dates back one hundred and sixty years. The Duke de LA FORCE, of the French Academy. Yours Respectfully, After your book "Youth 1914-18", to the noble inspiration and the patriotic teaching of which I was pleased to pay homage at the public meeting of the French Academy, I have just read, dear Mr. Heusghem, your new work "DEAR AMERICA", another contri- bution to your meritorious enterprise. This commemoration of our alliances of the great war, the eloquent tribute you are so paying to these sons of America, who spontaneously forestalled their Country's intervention, will certainly contribute towards strenghtening the bonds existing between the two shores of the Atlantic. These bonds are particu- larly vivid, being grounded as they are on History which develo- pes them. Georges GOYAU, of the French Academy. This is the second War narration we owe to Mr. Fernand Heusghem, after his book on invaded Belgium. We once again find here the same qualities of moving simplicity and eloquent since- rity. Duke of BROGLIE, of the French Academy, and of the Academy of Science, President of the Cincinnati. " DEAR AMERICA !" is a book full of the most noble teaching. The war with all its horrors, it is true, lives in it, but the human grandeurs it reveals are also justly evidenced, predominantly among them being the heroism of these sons of America, of whom their Country will always be proud. In his work, Mr. Heusghem does not forget the share of the Belgians who preferred ruin to dishonor, that of the British who faithful to their pledge came to the rescue, and that of the Garibaldians who forestalling their country's intervention gene- rously fought in remembrance of the great Italian chief. This book shows that human souls will not accept to live in abjection, in debasement. The gret war brought the proof of it, and it is gratifying to read these thrilling pages which evoke years in which Right was triumphat. Louis MADELIN, of the French Academy. Yours Respectfully, Starinor I have just read, dear Mr. Heusghem, with much interest and great emotion, the second book you are publishing on the great War. In your first work you told of the sufferings of the sacrifice and the glory of Heroic Belgium; you now recall in If DEAR AMERICA !" the effort, the courage and the fraternity on the battlefields of old France, of our great Friends from the other side of the Atlantic. In the times in which we are living, such narrations must interest, not only the Allies of 1914-18, but also all the peoples who are anxious to serve and to defend, in the present world, Justice and Liberty. As a matter of fact, all those who feel that these two conditions -now so often scoffed at by the Barbarians - make life really worth living, will be grateful to you for having written this new book, for which I wish to congra- tulate your Maurice DONNAY, of the French Academy. The first American soldiers who fell after their Country's intervention, were killed on the Lorraine front on the 2nd November 1917. They were three and belonged to the 18th division of which my brother, General Bordeaux, was in command. He paid them the supreme homage. The last American soldier who fell was probably the one I saw on the border of the Escaut the morning of the IIth November I9I8. It is this American épopée in the great War which your beautiful book perpetuates, dear Mr. Heusghem, and I have no doubt that it will contribute to foster the spirit of sacri- fice and love of country. Henry BORDEAUX, of the French Academy.

He only destroyed the faith of the men who destroyed his church. In addition to establishing, for all time, the truth about the early American Navy, the de luxe edition is the most effective exposure of false Catholic propaganda since the Father Martin's "improved" epitaph of John Barry raises the question of what has days of Martin Luther. False propaganda was never a part of Catholic Faith-politically been done in the name of Catholicity, by politically minded or poorly informed priests, minded priests, bishops, and popes to the contrary. When quoting Regnans in Excelsis, during the past nineteen centuries. If there be Catholic writers still thick skinned by Saint Pius V, the writer very properly put the word "Bull" in italics. Frankly, it enough to insist Father Martin's "improvement" was only a mistake, it might be a was nothing else. This ill judged political bluff was one of the six major political crimes good idea to turn our attention to those other classical mistakes which, willy nilly, were committed against the Irish nation, by Roman pontiffs, in the guise of rammed down the throats of billions of Catholics through the centuries. The classical Catholic Faith, since the year 1154 A.D. The other five major crimes were: (1) The fish story concerns Jonah and the whale. According to modern research Jonah found Bull of Adrian IV; (2) The Bull of Alexander III; (3) The Bull of John XXII, which himself in a "whale" of a dilemma for three days. And our Rev. Michael F.

That at least was an explanation for the fact that Brendan returned financing of William of Orange by Pope Innocent XI (with Roman Catholic Church empty handed; and no other Irishman attempted the voyage until after the days of Eric funds) until William was powerful enough to chase the Catholic king of Ireland from the Red. But there is no explanation for the ramming of a full sized man down a passage the throne. which finds it difficult to swallow a full grown herring.

The time has arrived for a thorough literary housecleaning in the name of genuine Catholicity. The 1936 Edition of THREE AMERICAN COMMODORES, by Bryan Hannon (Foreword by Colonel James Barnes) has made a start. It removes the early American Navy from the clutches of false Catholic propaganda. It establishes the truth about many important misrepresented facts in American and Irish history. Its expose of false propaganda is as thrilling as a detective story. For it throws the limelight on that can- cerous growth-the priest in politics-which is still destroying the best efforts of a H Saint Celsus or a Saint Francis; and which is rapidly transforming the Kingdom of Christ into the Kingdom of Satan.
