FREEDOM OF THE AIR
Sir,-Jack Sherie’s "bright disclaimer," frank and humorous as it was, shows him to be at least of an open mind. Let me hasten to ‘assure him that the ranks of Rationalists include most of the greatest scientists, philosophers, and thinkers, so that he will be in good company and need have no fear. He also asks what are the Rationalists, for he says he has a "horrible feeling that he may be one!" — Rationalism, as the word implies, is a belief in a rational or reasonable outlook ‘on life based on human experience, scientific deduction and knowledge, and accepts unreservedly the supremacy of Reason as opposed to theological dogma and superstition. Not so dreadful after all, is it? Mr. Sherie should cultivate the acquaintance of that one Rationalist whom he had never set eyes on béfore, I feel sure he will find a great friendship awaiting him. However, my original protest remains ignored, by the NBS, but may one hope that it will reach the proper quarters.
