[about a newspaper story] Reverend Suzuki said that it was almost impossible to have correct information printed because of the great liability for misunderstanding. He said that publicity is important, but that we should not discuss it too much, and if it comes out wrong, we can only ignore it; whatever they say, they say; what is important is always to preserve the constant right way….Reverend Suzuki said that it was almost impossible to guard against it; each time there is some mistake, so if we concern ourselves about it too much it may just be a waste of time….Reverend Suzuki said that it may be better just to keep silent!
