Text of Letter
The letter of Mr. Goddard, copies
of which were received here, said
THE NEW I YORK AMERICAN
April 15, 1926
Mr. E. M. Swasey
The American Weekly
9 E. 40th St.
New York City.
Dear Mr. Swasey:
I make haste to acknowledge your
letter enclosing one from Mr. Hatha
way, of the International Magazine
Co., with a copy of a complaint from
thp Strang and Prosser Advertising
Agency in Seattle, in regard to an
article published in the American
Weekly Magazine Section on March

GAMBLERS, LIQUOR DEAL

Department of Justice in Alaska for

article.

Mayor of one of the Alaskan cities,
which states, “Disreputable dives,
bootlegging and gambling have been
allowed to center in the section where
our homes are located. Our boys and
girls are constantly exposed to these

existing conditions were furnished by
Mr. Sutherland, the Alaskan delegate
to Congress, and the article before it
was published, was submitted to him
to make sure that the facts were cor

Weekly was therefore based upon the
official complaint lodged with the
Department of Justice, and the de
