DEMOCRACY

SIR,—General Eisenhower last week challenged the Soviet Union to agree to the holding of free elec- tions to permit people everywhere, in every nation and every continent, to vote on the following issue: Do you want to live under a Communist rule or under a free system sucn as is found in the United States?

I suggest that General Eisenhower before leaving his office should cease to support those dictators who are maintained by American support, tq enable the Spanish people. too, to make this choice. —Yours faithfully,
