I forgot to save the envelope in

which this circular came and thre

fore I cannot tell you whether it

used a paid-for stamp or crme

diplomatic mail, free of charge. I

get a lot of that kind of mail, all

free, the object of which is al

ways to educate me Lo love some

foreign country. But" if anyone

wants to send some mail about

loving America, a paid-for stamp is

essential. It is a fine point, this

business of who pays to have mail

delivered advocating love.

The Dominican circular tells

what the gambling money is used

for. It is for culture. The profits

of gambling or part of them

are used to teach Americans to love

the Dominican Republic, which is

apparently free of foreign debt.

Maybe gambling makes up for the

foreign debt and this type of fin

ancing might be tried by some of

our debtors and those who take our

charity. The Ford Foundation which

is busy spending money anywhere

at all, so 16ng as it is unprofitable,

might take this one oYi as a pro

ject.

Perhaps they could encourage all

the countries that have become ac

customed to mooching on the Amer

ican tax-payer to get free of foreign

debt by slot machines, casinos, gay

nightclubs, cock-fights, Sunday

horse-racing, baseball and boxing.

For it is those sports which the

Dominican Republic advertises as

available to all who want them, a

long with "planned crop diversi

fication. industrial expansion and

other progressive economic and

human relations developments.”

It must be admitted that this is

a great program for the little Re

public. which compares favorably
