Wanted a Remedy

To the Editor of the "Mobrh-ChixA DAILY News"

Sm,—Reading the correspondence columns of your paper every day, I find always new topics which indicate deep concern of the contributors, But when we analyse the essence of the topics, we find nearly in all cases that the scarlet thread of all those literary essays is the sickness of the world, These letters come from all parts of the world, and from people of all social classes end groups.

1 am therefore not mistaken if I Say that the world in its present condition may duly be compared to a sick man on his bed, AN make his friends in tender, loving kindness are busy to give suggestions for a recovery, some have even medicines on hand which, in their Opinion, can work miracles, and which the poor patient has to swallow, one by one, But, unfortunately, the would-be doctors in.their despair are too hasty, and the more the beloved man is treated the worse is his condition. And the hour might not be too far when the overstrained Boty will fade away under the kind but unskilled hands of his benefactors, and dismemberment and destruction will be the last remainder of e once healthy and. well developed organism, Before that last stage is reached, would it not be worth while to gather à council of deliberate men "who would give their advices in the eleventh hour? And as newspapers are institutions for the service of public welfare, I would like to ask through your paper: What is the efficient remedy for this agonizing world?
