As f much as I would like to do so 1 just file these requests and d o nothing about them, because my r column js^jfiot written on these p fine i pi 0^*1 would like now to t .inform those retpuestees that this column is not a scandal Column, neither is it a gossip column.- As long as I write I will try to kegp - my column free from personalie~Ties or from personal scandal, us I lotur as it -does?not-affect the neo I)Ie as a whole. I am trying tc e do what little ^rooci I can for my f race in particular and my country and nation in general, and I rea f lize that this cannot be done by s trying to tocpose and scandalize the leadership of our race. "Wt have all fallen short of the goot we would like to do." I do not think there is one sane readei _ who can truthfully say that they have reached that point of peri'ec 1 lion that we cati say, "I have ac omplished all I would like to do I am above making ?mistakes there is no trace of skeletons if ?my closut." Do not get me wrong if I am ever convinced that ai any time an exposing of any per soil would help the aiharuenieiv ? of the race or the church, ! , would .not hesitate to attack any "" person, because I know that th? |< church and race are more thar , one person, but I positively wil ; not take any pa it in maliciously >. attacking persons just because ? rny view and theirs do not coincide.
