Title	Heinl, Robert D. 1940-02-20
Abstract	Letter from Theodore Debs, 2/20/40. Says that while Samuel Hopkins Adams has been "most kind and more than generous in his estimate" of Eugene V. Debs "and his characteristics" he wrongly depicts Warren Harding "as a charming personality, a kind, tender, and sympathetic spirit." Writes that Adams' description of the circumstances surrounding Eugene V. Debs' release from prison are not founded entirely on fact. Mentions that Adams does not take into account the incredible pressure Warren Harding was under by amnesty supporters who, more than anyone, in Theodore Debs' mind, were responsible for Eugene V. Debs' release from prison. Tells Heinl that even after Eugene V. Debs was called to come to Washington, D. C. to meet with Harry Dougherty it was still several months before Eugene V. Debs was actually released. Writes that he went to Atlanta, Georgia based on rumors alone that Eugene V. Debs was to be released around Christmas. Explains to Heinl that it is difficult for Harding admirers to "reconcile is kindly and gentle spirit with his vicious persistence" in keeping Eugene V. Debs and the other political prisoners behind bars for so long. Assures Heinl that when he gets a chance he will look at Henry F. Pringle's book on William Taft, a book he is sure will not discuss Taft's injunction record against organized labor. Mentions that William Taft was the first federal judge to issue an injunction against a labor organization.
