In regard to the activities of Ahmad Sohrab, Shoghi Effendi
has already stated that such attacks, however perfidious, do not justify the
friends replying or taking any direct action against them. The attitude of the
N.S.A. should be to ignore them entirely. For any undue emphasis on attacks
made upon the Cause by Ahmad and his supporters would make them feel that they
constitute a real challenge to the Cause and a menace to its institutions.
Should these attacks continue and acquire a serious importance the Guardian
will surely advise the N.S.A. to take definite and decisive action.

letter dated March 21, 1934., written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to NSA of the
United States and Canada; Baha’i News, no. 83, May 1934)
