The United slates of America is not inherently the  in the world it is not always in the right its government does not always make the right decisions. America is a melting pot of cultures we have immigrants from perhaps every area of the world and Alt of those Immi Grants just like everyone in our govern ment Are people. And people make mis take whether they re american russian German italian or from any other Back ground. Just u America and americans Are not inherently right so Are Russia and the rus Sian people not inherently wrong or bad. Let us not pass judgment on the people of europen edition ctr  k.

A fleece Airt a Civ. Wuh. A. The soviet Union simply because of the poli tics of their government. By doing so we Are no belter than that government with whose policies and actions we disagree. A few years ago a Young american schoolgirl by the name of Samantha Smith was Given a two week Lour of the soviet Union a the guest of the late Premier Yuri Andropov Samantha came Back to the United slates with very positive to clings about the soviet Union and its people. Fine. She was Tiven a tour that showed precisely what the soviet government wanted her to see anything and everything that is Good about the soviet Union. I doubt that Samantha saw breadline High prices for poor Quality merchandise or other results of political re pression. I would like to think that the organizers of Katya Locheva s visit to the United states would Grant her the Opportunity to see not that the United states is a perfect country but that we do not try to hide the problems we have. Unfortunately i Don t think that Katya saw the Bronx or Watts los Angeles or the Street dwellers of just about any City. Katya saw the statue of Liberty the while Houie Chicago Houston and Disneyland. She also watched Rocky in which i feel May Hava been a mistake i Don t think thai should have been on her itinerary by showing Katya Only the Good Side of the United Stales Are we hot doing precisely what we condemn he soviet government Lor doing Katya came to the United states to promote world Pence not to look for a new Home. We Don t have to sell the United slates to her which is what her schedule was doing. Katya is 11 years old. She is very Possi Bly afraid that her world will be marred by nuclear War before she grows up. Why could we no show Kalya that we too want peace. When will the United states learn to Lay aside its Public relations act a Nice term for positive propaganda and recognize envoys such Katya for what they Are world citizens concerned about the future of heir world. I Hope and Pray that we have not marred our last Opportunity to show to the russian Public thai the american government As Well As the majority of american citizens is truly concerned about peace in the world. In his biblical Teller in the Church in Rome the apostle Paul wrote if. Possible so far As it depends on you be at peace with All  romans 12 18 whether or nol you Are a Christian or hold the Bible in any esteem whatsoever Paul s advice is Good must Alt do everything in our Power i be at peace with All men regardless o race skin color beliefs. Or political orientation fellow serve members fellow Ameri cans Lei us never give anyone the Opportunity to say that we do not want peace in our world 1 want it for myself my family my friends for the germans the italians the polish and yes for the rus sians. . Randall i. Ehle Raf Alconbury England no s Rye comments answered having been a consumer of food from us. Commissaries in Europe for two years i feel qualified to give an expert opinion about the Quality of certain products sold there. I have noticed Rye seeds in cafes wheat bread from the first loaves we bought. Although 1 loathe Rye in every Way i have put up with these tainted loaves knowing that there is no other source of the kind of bread most suited for my american tastes while bread is unfit for human consumption and the German breads Many of them delicious just Don l make the kind of sandwiches i want. So i endured theoc Cabanal Rye seed making sure i have something liquid nearby to Wash it Down but then came the next Surprise raisins raisins Why the ingredients listed on the package did t mention raisins or Rya so what were they doing in my bread then i realized what was happening. The cafes bakeries must not have been completely cleaning their work areas Between the different batches of bread and tie leftovers be it raisins or Rye were finding their Way into the wheat bread. I had suspected this for a 003 time but the raisins confirmed my suspicions that it was nothing More than a careless Accident. Cafes clean up your act there must be n Good explanation that one of your or experts will come up Wilh but i la be satisfied with just Plain wheat bread. Sec.
