...I made an honest effort to do these things...
...Though seemingly in accord with the general ideas of the independents, progressives, and socialists who are not being carried away by the world-government schemes of the will-o'-the-wisp liberals and power-dreaming reactionaries, Alderman in his last remark — "and expel all foreign governments, internationalists, and foreign groups from America" — clearly shows a spirit not in common with The Progressive...

...J. D. Norris Laurel, Mont...
...Look at the unpunished, outrageous, scandalous profiteering...

...We talk freedoms, but fight for money only...

...Walter T. Koch Merrill, Wis...
...Now, what was the purpose of publishing "The Truth About Cigarettes" but not the whole truth...
...Perhaps my reading was superficial, but I was almost certain I saw that statement about the wealthy taking care of the down-and-outers...

...William B. Hesseltine Madison, Wis...
...Jones has by no means presented his own case in the most effective fashion...
...A Sergeant's Protest Dear Sirs: Unlike many who have expressed themselves on this matter, I can propose no cut and dried solution to the problem of dealing with a postwar Germany and Japan...
