LETTERS - CONTINUED 25. Dear Mr. Kerkhof: No, I will not allow you to write a story of my life. I believe that A. E. van Vogt has done a superlative job in his two stories, "World of A" and "Players of A", although his attempt was strictly fictional. I have decided to allow no true biographies for a time, no matter what the inspirational loss to the world. I will, however, be glad to supply you with the information for which you asked. The true philosophy which I expound is the belief that there are secret groups of humans with the ability to travel through space. These humans are the Secret Rulers of the other worlds of this and all nearby solar systems, which systems are populated by the descendants of human slaves transported there by the space travellers. They are referred to as the "younger ones." The members of this Younger Race do not generally know that they are rulled by Terrestrial humans. Only a select few, traitors who aid the humans, know of the existence of the space travellers. This explains why the E-T races have never visited Earth; I think they're property. The idea impertinently suggested by certain scoffers, that the extra-solar intelligences haven't had time to develop interstellar ships, or at least none of those near us have, can be ignored as a vile attempt to distort the real truth, probably deliberate. The idea of a police force of the space travellers, which disguises all blunders on the part of irresponsible members of their clique, explains part of these distortions. Some of the proofs of this are found in the facts that the African island of Bucovina, the chief base of the space travellers, sinks out of sight every time a human being gets within seeing distance of it, and that in the year 1899 the British battleship "Montagu" was sunk in mid-Pacific by a spaceship which fell on it, destroying it utterly. There were no survivors of this disaster. There are millions of additional proofs, many of which will appear in the first issue of our society magazine, BELIEF, due to appear for the first time next month. I might add that the symbol of our club is the exclamation point (1). very trayly* yours, SIG: Gilbert Gosling *this "extra-ordina-RAY" occurence has utterly no significance, Mr. Shaver. ***************** GILBERT GOSLING IS THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY OF THE CHORTLEAN SOCIETY, -----------THE EDITORS
