To the Editor of the "Norta-Camva Dany News"
Sm—To the verbose correspondent in Tuesday's issue who signs himself AMERICAN CaTHOLIC I recommend a study of "Persia Past and Present" by Professor A. V. Williams Jackson (also an American) with particular attention to the chapter headed "Zoroaster and the Avesta."
"I shall cheerfully join J. C. de B. in embracing Zoroastrianism or worse—if anything could be worse" exclaims Amertcan CaTmOLIC with flippant abandon. That this remark is undoubtedly in bad taste must be apparent to any fairly intelligent reader of this column, Sane discussions on comparative religions are admissible, but a stupid and ignorant statement as quoted above is certainly inexcusable.
I hope that' after reading this and the letter by Mkr, S. M. TALARI i-Tuesday's issue, AMERICAN CATHOLIC will have the courage to admit his mistake in & pointless remark about an religion founded "upon ethical tenets both exalted and spiritual.
