Beschreibung

A special collection of 37 mimeographed newsletters and ephemera, consisting of 23 individual issues of the pacifist newsletter: *The Peace Witness* dating from 1941-43 (including a folded Special Supplement); together with 14 miscellaneous pacifist-themed newsletters and ephemera dating from 1941-42. Several are signed (in mimeograph) by Arthur Joquel. Most newsletters are stapled. All but two leaflets have two or three holes punched at the left margin for storage in a binder, not affecting the mimeographed text. All 37 items are moderately toned, near fine. Arthur Joquel, a peace activist and prominent figure in the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society, founded "The Society of Juridica" in 1940, which advocated for a strong system of justice to ensure a peaceful society. In addition to working on fanzines and various projects in the occult, he edited and published *The Peace Witness*, the contents of which were culled or condensed from various pacifist and conscientious objector publications, together with several Society of Juridica newsletters and associated publications. Robert Heinlein, then a part of Los Angeles fandom, called him a "traitorous little bastard" and thought it a "bitter thing" that he should still be alive while other Americans had fallen in the war. A very scarce surviving collection of Society of Juridica wartime newsletters and ephemera in fine condition. *OCLC* locates no copies. A detailed list of all 37 items is available.
