"The
PLAIN TRUTH does not warp
and distort facts as do 1he nacional and
local presses. This magazine is some1hing
( have been searching for for a long time
- it presents a se.r:ious viewpoint which
r
feel is unbiased toward any generation or
faction of the public, a fact rare in the
na1ional press, wbo !ove 10 take a knock
at someone."
G. W., Schoolboy,
Bury, Lancaster, England
"I think for the fi rst time I
am
begin–
ning to understand 1he world arouod me.
Thank you for helping me."
Barbara T.,
Narragansett, Rhode Island
"1
am glad to see that you are oot in the
habit of avoidiog diHicult and con–
troversia( questions, like the existence of
God, and sorne of the time-honoured
Christian beliefs such as the observance
of Christmas and so on.
Tbe
PLAIN
TRUTH has started
m
undermine sorne
of my cherishcd ideas and has proddcd me
towards arcas of thinking which
I
pre–
viously considered 10 be unnecessary and
fruidess."
M.N.N., University Lecturer,
India
"I feel it would be in
your best iuterest
10 remove my name from your mailing list.
Although we share an opinion upon occa–
sion,
J
find your
basic pbilosopby
which
perrneates
ALL
your magazines
to
be
uninstructive and SIMPLISTIC."
Mrs. Cynthia O.,
Lubbock. Texas
"Up lO now
1
have read maoy maga–
zines. I have tasted sorne, swallowed others
and have chewed and digested sorne very
few. But, never have 1 come across a
magazine similar lo
The
PLAIN TRUTH.
The
PLAIN TRUTH really gives under–
standing and plain answers to problems
sud1 as famine, crime, addiction
t0
drugs
and many 01hers that are now plaguing hu–
manity. By reading
The
PLAIN TRUTH
magazine, the doors of one's mind are
really opened to new horizons and by
practicing and following tbe different
advices given by the EditOr himself and
his associates, one is really bound to
succeed in Jife. More than this, ooe is
kept abreast of rhe news going on in the
world."
Prakash S.,
Mauritius
"I believe that public opinioo on aU
anti-pollution issues is hardeniog rapidly,
and I feel that
Tbe
PLAIN TRUTH has
been, and still contioues to be, a very great
contributor to this effort. Sociologically, I
feel that this magazine has its fingers on
the pulse of the world, and I eagerly await
each mooth's publication."
V. H.
R.,
Napier, New Zealand
"Never have
I
read a magazine which
managed tO accomplish what it purponed
10 do- tell the facts!
1
congratulare you
on a fine periodical. While
l
do not agree
with everytbiog in the magazine,
1
feel it is
one of the finest
I
have ever read."

Vietnam War Article
"1
enjoy each and every issue of
Tbe
PLAlN TRUTH. The Iast issue with the
article about 'The Truth of Why We're in
Vietnam' is still being read and appre·
ciated in our famíly. My son-io-law has
just reruroed from 'Nam' and
I
will seod
him my tteasured copy of the issue when
we have read it. One of the saddest letters
he wrote from Quaog Tri was asking
'Why are we over here
?'
lf
everyone in
our great country could be told those
truths. Communism in our country would
be fougbt instead of taught."
Mrs.
C.
E. B.,
Hollandale, Mississippi
"We read the special repon about the
Vietnam War and for the first time in a
long time of reading your magazine, we
must say that we were disappointed.
lt
scemed tbat you wok no stand, no clear
stand at all. The best we could make of
your position was that you leaned toward
present American policy because it was a
war against the communists. Why did you
not come out and declare unequivocal op–
position to not only the Vietnam war, but
also all wars?
ls
there really such a thing
as a good war or a favourite war? The
killing goes on and on, every day. But you
rather carefully skirted the basic stand al!
human beings should take - that of com–
plete horror of al! wars and a demand
that both sides cease the killing over
ideologies."
Jim
D.,
Perth, Ontario, Canada
"Never have
1
read such an informa–
tively written piece of information.
It
has
cxplained 10 me many of the loopholes
which 1 have seeo in the explanations so
far provided to the American public."
J.

R.,
Bridgeport, Coonecticut
"1
want 10 compliment you on the splen–
did article you wrote on the Vietnam war.
As a Gold Star Father, 1 fouod it ex–
tremely interesting and it 'did' give me a
lift, at least to a certain measurable degree.
\Y/e lost our dear son, Sp 4 Robert Leo K.,
in this noosensical war. It was just unbelie–
vable. Robert DEAD? No, there must be
