Ruth White:
"A sincere man in Shoghi's position should gladly have accepted my
challenge for an investigation. Any man confident of the justice of his
case would, in fact, have courted and insisted upon an impartial and
judicial examination of the alleged will and of all the facts bearing on
his claim to Guardianship. Shoghi Effendi however, it can be seen, was
congratulating himself that there was no likelihood of the Palestine
authorities considering the question. He shunned a test of the alleged
will and of his claims. And I have every reason to believe that his
advice to his followers not to hurt my feelings at that time was with a
view to prevent me from pursuing the matter further" (1).
"This alleged will is undated, unwitnessed, unprobated, and unstamped
by the Government. It also contradicts the intent that its alleged maker
held during his lifetime. for the alleged will commands people to obey
Shoghi Effendi as if he were God, and to pay a tax to him. This is the
motive of the fraud--money and power" (2).
"I am making this complaint in order to protect the public from a fraud,
and a movement, which under Shoghi Effendi has become far more
subversive than that of Bolshevism. For Shoghi Effendi aims to become
world dictator, and he is establishing enemy states within each state,
and collecting taxes from the people of these enemy states. All this is
contrary to the teachings of Sir Abdul-Baha Abbas whose successor he
claims to be (2-3).
