Mr. Mani Mehta forwarded to the Guardian a copy of the N.S.A.'s decision
informing him that he must either give up his connection with the War
Comforts Fund or his Baha'i administrative work. The Guardian feels that
there is no objection to a Baha'i undertaking work of a philanthropic or
humanitarian nature and at the same time being on elected Baha'i bodies or
holding office in them. The War Comforts Fund is in no way contrary to our
principles, and there can be no objection to Mr. Mehta's work in this
connection. He hopes that the N.S.A. will clarify this matter and remove
any misunderstandings that have arisen.
