New York
By JAMES ASWELL
Central Press Staff Writer
NEW YORK. May 22— I have
Just received a rather curious fan
letter It runs as follows:
"Because you write a column, I
am sending you a personal letter
Instead of the form, a copy of which
is enclosed for your convenience.
“As a newspaperman, you must
certainly be interested in the good
ef the people and the redistribu
tion of wealth. You will surely also
not object to a $1,500 return on a
10-cent Investment.
Tor the prosperity of the whole
country and for your own financial
return, tor good luck and the con
sciousness of a good deed done, send
lb cents (coin) to the person whose
name appears at the top of his list.
Then add your name and address
at the bottom of the list of names
so that you. too. can receive thou
sands of dimes.
"Copy the enclosed form letter
five times with the list of names
and mail it to five friends. Before
long you will begin to cash in.”
These letters, I am told, are flood
ing New York. The mathematics of
the scheme are as engaging as the
figures proving that the way to In
crease the prosperity of everybody
lies in the curtailment of the pro
duction of goods and wealth.
Silence On This
On the other hand, if the gov
ernment doesn’t feel like waiting
for the scheme's mathematical
cycle to run its course. I suggesi
an alternative plan Why not have
the government start a monster
chain letter itself with the federal
treasury as the first name on Its
list? Surely enough mazuma could
be garnered in this way to pay
foi all the alphabetical agencies
through MMM.
Granted, the chain letter plan on
■uch a large scale might leave the
citizenry without anybody else to
write to, but there is a solution to
this. too. After the entire popula
tion had sent its dime to Wash
ington there would remain foreign
countries to be circularized. Russia
en. China offer fascinating vistas
for the governmental chain letter.
I can think of no more effective
method of collecting the war debt.
An utter realist might detect some
slight danger here While the for
eign governments were paying off
their debts to us via the chain let
ter, they might become so enriched
themselves (after all. they’d have
to buy thetr stamps to answer us,
wouldn't they?) that they woula
possess the wherewithal for an
other war.
T' sny case, this reporter submits
