...distributors of the most dominant and influential publication on the North American Continent, seldom, if ever, do you strike below the belt in your views and reviews of topics of interest, but if you say, as recorded in your Aug. 31 issue, as indicated by one Gerold C. Wichmann, that "U. S. War Veterans should cordially dislike President Franklin D.
