wait with interest the appearance of the first bit of objective evidence -- dero-inhabited cavern, a buried plate or significant inscription. We want to know if Mr. Shaver's own account of his imprisonment and escape have been verified. We want a voice-making or ray-casting machine actually seen by dependable witnesses. The existence of enormous caverns in many parts of the world is a known fact. It is highly probable that not a thousandth part of the existing caverns are known, or even surmised. We are not such a fool as to deny a priori that they may have inhabitants, possibly of a very unpleasant or even dangerous sort. It would be equally foolish to go further than this, with such data as we now have available. The editor of this A. S. magazine has been deluged with books, articles, letters, formidible scientific arguments, endless data (real or alleged). Our personal correspondence with him, plus reports from persons who know him, convince us that he is personally "sold" on the "Mystery". We mean, he is profoundly convinced something very strange, and likely very dangerous is going on. Particularly about the voices. It appears that literally thousands of people are hearing them, have heard them for years past, on occasion or even habitually. The Shaver conviction, hallucination, or fiction-inventing is, that these originate from age-old mechanisms, invented by the ancients, now operated by the degenerate Deros in underground caverns. The A. S. editor cannot (in print at any rate) decide whether this is some kind of clairvoyance from the astral levels, or dero deeds of derring-do. He's determined to find out. His life is frequently threatened -- and so is that of other would-be investigators. We suggest that one real danger is, some of our professional and official brothers -- we mean doctors, lawyers, psychologists, psychiatrists, alienists, psycho-analysts, all kith and kin of them -- will get their claws on this clairaudient folk -- shut them up as filberts of a most dangerous variety. They have actually been doing that, for years past. We don't know a single one of these gentry to whom we would dare say that we hear voiced (if we did); and yet clairaudience is wide-spared, old as the race, and a God-like faculty which we have prostituted or denied. Whatever ROUND ROBIN readers think of this stuff, the fact remains that there's considerably excitement, some genuine alarm, a great number of people openly asserting clairaudient powers -- and a good many of them are apparently people of education, culture, scientific training. The nitwits, hoaxers and smart-alecks are there too, of course and as always. We give 6
