Sirs: TIME, Dec. 5, p. 18, says in col. 2 : "He said, 'I will burn it because I have no reason for satisfying morbid public curiosity.' After this arrogant comment . . ." etc. Of course I am wrong in thinking Sir Basil's comment not arrogant that arrogant implied overbearing assertion of superiority, of others' rights not recognized, that haughty would be better here, that haughty implies only a consciousness of superiority. Wrong words in wrong places keep TIME from the best tables. Haughtily, RODERICK BISSELL JONES Winstead, Conn...

Burke's letter to the Living Church: The editorial of your [Living Church] issue for Nov. 5 declares: "We are not among those who delight in finding fault with Roman Catholicism."

Was this the opinion of the group...

Lodge of Detroit whose election a Detroiter ascribes partially to the fact that Mr. Lodge is granduncle to Col. Charles Augustus Lindbergh. One good reason why Mr. Lodge did not attend the mayoral gathering at Chicago was that, elected mayor of Detroit only last month, he has not yet been inaugurated. Mayor-elect Lodge of Detroit, closer than any mayor to "The U. S. Ambassador of Good Will," was quietly reported as being "overjoyed when...
...Mussolini has tried for months if not years to coerce the French Government into taking .just this stand, his good humor last week was understandable. Said he, however, apropos of a possible treaty of friendship with France: "Such an undertaking . . . could not be based solely on literary and sentimental reasons but must rest on the elimination . . . of reason for friction between the two countries." In the past such friction has been chiefly fomented by journalists on French and Italian soil. There remain, however, certain definite clashes of interest-such as those between the French and Italian spheres in North Africa...
