The words mean different things. intellectual - possessing or showing intellect or mental capacity logical - according to or agreeing with the principles of logic The two might often go together, for example, I doubt a message could be very intellectual without it also being logical. But I could be logical by simply stating, "two plus two equals four" and no one would find that message particularly intellectual.

He gives the message in the cibtinuation:
The intellectual thing I should want to say to them is this: when you are studying any matter or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only; what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted either by what you wish to believe or by what you think could have been efficient socially if it were

I don't like the word "intellectual" as used twice in this context, nor would I prefer "logical" in its place. I also don't understand the phrasing "should want" or "should wish" do you mean "would" instead of "should?" Or just delete "should" altogether.
