In the article you try to tell the world that the part of Csech coutry where the provoking nasi live belong to Germany. You better borogh an Encyclopedia or some book of History and study the truth before you print such nonsence stories. Or we will think you work for Nasi. Please remember this: that part of Csechoslovakia never belong to Germany althou they wish it is theirs for almost 1000 years. The sudetan German are not really German but bough Csechs made into German. And what a Germans. They make more trouble for Csech goverment than thouse shmutzig Teutons. Henlein their leader is half Csech himself and Csechoslov citisen. So Hitler's mother was Csech. Any other country would hang up Henlein long ago. ... If France, Russia and sly England will help Csechs it won't be because they like them, but because they know after they would get Csech German would turn on them. Hitler wants war and the sudeten half Czechs and half German is not the reason but it would be his alibi.
Germany has 40,000 person hired all year around to act as spies, provocaters and propagandist. If Hitler—Ala forbid—would pas away the world still don't need to get discoured because there is 45,000,000 Hitlers in Germany. Or in other words 45 million teuton who feel just like Hitler.
The Nasi are busy everywhere in South America. They distributed several hundreds of small radios and fixed them so that the inocent Spaniard can get nothing else, but what those cultured Germans tell them and you can bet your spit that it is true. They can do nothing else.
So please look in Encyclopedia next time for there is 40,000 teuton on job.

Saving Grace
Sirs:
In TIME, May 23, the alert Editor of Religion gave a report of the meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention in Richmond, Va. in which he represented with fairness the attitude of Southern Baptists toward the proposed World Council of Churches. In one clause of the opening sentence there is a serious lapsus pennae. Baptists never speak of "the saving grace of baptism." They do not believe that regeneration takes place in water baptism. Regeneration is a spiritual process and not sacramental. Salvation is by grace through faith.
Inasmuch as an infant cannot exercise personal faith, and the New Testament knows nothing of proxy religion, Baptists practice the baptism of believers only. Infants dying in infancy, whether baptized or unbaptized, will see the face of God, and be welcomed by the Saviour into the Father's house. JOHN R. SAMPEY President

Herpes Zoster
Sirs:
Senator Henry Fountain Ashurst complains that his malady of shingles has not a high-sounding name (TIME, May 30, p. 40). May I suggest "Herpes Zoster" ... as a synonym to spirit, if not to body.

Eire
Sirs:
Why do you use Eire [TIME, Jan. 31 et seq.] instead of Ireland as the heading in the Foreign News Department? Or has the Emerald Isle been rechristened?

Let Reader Korzow pay attention. The Irish Free State was officially re-christened Eire last December. Northern Ireland and Eire make up Ireland. —ED. Fine Front
