Publication of Kaukab |

The news that the difficulties, which for a time prevailed and
threatened grave disturbances between the N.S.A. and the Local
Assemblies, have vanished, was a source of great satisfaction
and gratification to him. We were quite sure that it was all due
to misunderstandings and that they would be easily overcome…

In a letter which I have lately written to Seyed Jenabe Ali
on behalf of Shoghi Effendi, I intimated his desire that a special
committee of the N.S.A. should be created to undertake the
management of everything pertaining to the Kaukab. Furthermore,
if a certain sum is offered to the National Fund with the
expressed desire that it should be spent for the Kaukab, i.e., if
the offer is labelled, then the N.S.A. should take into consideration
the wish of the giver and spend it only for that purpose.
Though the friends are advised to give unlabelled contributions
they cannot in any way be prevented from using their choice in
the way it should be spent.

In a cable recently sent to the N.S.A. Shoghi Effendi recommended
the publication of the Kaukab. He desires this paper
16
to play an important role in drawing the attention of the more
thoughtful and seeking people to the potency of this divine
Cause. I herein enclose a cheque for L19 which Shoghi Effendi
desires to be spent for this all important organ of the Cause in
India.

I am enclosing a general message, clearly worded, emphatically
expressed, and vitally important in all its bearings, conveyed
through Mirza Mahmood to the National Assembly
for the information of all Baha’is in India and Burma. I am
sure you will promptly and effectively take all necessary
measures for its dissemination throughout India and Burma.
The ‘Kaukab’ must, at all costs be continued, and I feel that
its two editors … are the most suitable to form a committee
which will conduct its affairs under the direct supervision of
the National Assembly. Whatever is contributed to the
National Assembly for a specific purpose should be expended
for that purpose only, but I would encourage the friends to
send unlabelled contributions in order not to tie the hands of
the National Assembly although I do not in the least require
them to do so. I will pray for your success from all my
heart.
