Lady, if you start hiding behind a Miss Smith or Brown or Jonrs you are doing a disservice to free speech whatever your words may be.

Two readers who have met Robeson personally speak of his intense sincerity. George Dodds, of Parksville, points out that the late Alexander Wool-cott, in "While Rome Burns" wrote of Robeson in these terms: "Of all the countless people I have known in my wanderings over the world, he (Robeson) is one of the few of whom I would say that they have gieatncss. I do mean greatness as a football player or as an actor or as a singer. I am not, I think, confusing his personal quality with his heroic stature. I do not even have in mind what is, I suppose, the indisputable fact, that he is the finest musical instrument wrought by nature in our time.

I mean greatness as a person." Several readers, criticizing my stand on the Robeson case, speak of my apparent "hostility" to the United States. "Hostility" is the wrong word. The word is "alarm."

Anybody found half a five dollar bill to make this sad one come to life? A most pleasant note from a woman in Peuticton who modestly asks that I keep her name to So I'll just call her Mrs. M. It is .40 years since Mrs. M.

taught school in Ontario, yet the other day she got a letter from one of her former pupils. He was 13 then, discouraged and planning to leave school when he joined Mrs. class. Her kindness to him, he wrote, Lad changed his outlook and his whole life. Now, over the long span of years, he was writing her to express his appreciation.

"You can guess how I felt," Mrs. M. writes. "Then it occurred to me that a hint some time in your column might induce other ex-pupils to remember a teacher who helped them in their early years. The stamps would not be wasted." Got me to thinking of teachers I remembered myself and if I weren't so lazy I'd drop a line right tonight to Messrs.

San-ford, Parfitt, Houston, Spragg, and a few others and I wish I could remember the name of that Latin teacher I Was in love with. Was it Miss Craig? Or Cairns? I must have a fickle boy. Quite a few letters of comment on my view of the Paul Robeson story, most of them abusive. Here's a funny thing about these letters. Almost without exception the writers who support my stand (that Robeson should be allowed to speak out) either adopt a pen-name or ask that I respect their anonymity.

One in particular is a brilliantly written letter in defense of freedom of speech, yet there's UrtilBH LUIIVUl S1UI1 stalled after the department had refused him a permit.

What we have to face is that there is clearly a semi-hysteria in many quarters.
