On the science-fiction vs. fantasy controversy, I want to throw my vote solidly on the fantasy side.

The world is now filled with science-fiction, while there is (to my knowledge) only one ''It's quite bad enough, getting WT only every two months. If, in addition half of it is to be given over to stories of a kind that can be found in half a dozen other publications, that's just too much.''

''As you doubtless know even better than your readers, good stories of fantasy and the supernatural are hard to come by. If you give us what your title stands for and we pay our money to get, we fans of the supernatural will be faithful to''

''I want to compliment your magazine on the improved quality of your stories. Years ago I read the magazine, but quit because of the horror stories which had a very bad effect upon my mind.''

Recently I became interested in science-fiction and fantasy, and began buying the magazines again, and among them your July issue.

''I liked the story "Shallajai" very much, and wish you would print many more like it. It was good fantasy with truth as a basis, and you cannot fail when you print stories of that type. I do not like your covers, nor illustrations, for they are definitely horror stuff, and as such should not be printed for the greater good of the common welfare. I believe the science-fiction-fantasy field is under the guidance of evolutionary forces, and as such will grow up into something that will be uplifting and noble. It has a great future, and will surely evolve out of the lurid and horrible. There is much for mankind to learn of the etheric worlds, and of himself if you please, but it is for his good and not for his detriment as horrors are.''
