was where controversial subjects were recommended for publication. If it 
is believed that the p\iblication of these matters might cause trouble, we 
would not hesitate to take part in the discussion. After a lengthy dis¬

resolved since I was afraid that it might cause some trouble in future years. 
Everything else is proceeding smoothly
