Elements of Racial Education -- Chap 4

Hello,

Your review of the fourth chapter of 'The Elements of Racial
Education' is most accurate. Besides, just like Evola and a few
other writers, you don't have to make an effort to write in an
impersonal manner. However, as much your style is impersonal, as
much, by using the name 'Evola' six times in 16 lines, you may
convey the wrong impression that the views set out by him on race
are merely his, and not, to a large extent, traditional Aryan
teachings applied by him to the conditions peculiar to our times.
This is the only reservation which we would make on your review.
