Sirs: Before me I have a copy of TIME, May 30, on the front of which you have blazoned the picture of Earl Browder, one of the most detested personalities that ever fattened on the grief and hatreds of the American classes.
As a subscriber to TIME magazine and as an American citizen I resent this free and cordial advertising of Communistic disturbers. . . .
You have given to two Communist leaders, within the last year (Browder and Bridges) 1/25 of your valuable front-page space which is greatly needed for the exploitation of full-blooded Americans. . . . BURTON H. PUGH

Sirs: ... I realize of course that TIME is interested in reporting all news of interest rather than acting as a censor, rejecting this, reporting that, etc., But why encourage the Communists by displaying a picture of a leader in such a manner as this? Obscurity is one of the best means of stamping out such a movement.

Sirs:
Last week I was delighted to receive TIME by reason of my subscription to Literary Digest which had not yet expired. I enjoyed the first number very much. . . .
This week's issue has just arrived and I cannot help writing to ask if you can not find a better subject for your front cover than the picture of one who is openly advocating the overthrow of our form of government and who is admittedly connected with the "Internationale" at Moscow, Russia. . . .
On Monday, May 30, we pause to pay tribute to those who fought and died that this Government might live. Your magazine for the occasion glorifies one who is the recognized head of a party which advocates the substitution of "Communism" for everything that we as Americans hold dear.
Think this over.

Sirs: . . . Comrade Browder wants peace and security—so do we all—but we can't have peace and security without job providers that are creating new wealth while they are putting men to work.
The value of a man's service to society is measured by the number of jobs that he has provided for his fellow men.
