Shoghi Effendi wishes me to drop you these few lines to
draw your attention to a general principle he has laid down for
all the Baha’i periodicals, namely that they should be very careful
in selecting the advertisements they accept to publish. It
should be highly dignified, such as books for example, otherwise
it would detract from the dignity of the periodical itself. This
may cause certain difficulty in financially establishing the paper,
but we should face the sacrifice and not endanger the prestige
of our publications. He wishes you to take note of this general
recommendation in accepting advertisements for the Baha’i
Weekly.
