But what is the reason, Mr. Taylor, that the powers that be never learn anything from history? The Allies feared the Bolsheviki in Russia, and intervention made Bolshevism strong. Here they are attempting to subdue labor and crush radicalism by means that make labor obstinate and radicalism thrive. When will they learn that persecution is a splendid fertilizer for the soil of radicalism? I am glad you have met Mr. Gilrey Gilroy? with whom I have corresponded for over twenty years, is a dear friend. Few people would believe that a minister of the gospel and an Anarchist could cultivate a friendship. I see that Jane Addams is one of your trustees and I wish you would give her our kindest regards when you see her. We have often tried to get her books from the Lincoln or county libraries but could never succeed. With kind regards and best wishes, Yours very truly, A. Isaak
