In the Editor's Mail Open Letter to Ridgely Cum mings : I believe that the majority of the people who favor the passage of the Lend-Lease Bill are aware of the fact that our aiding Brit tain may eventually involve us in a war with the axis. If our material aid fails to reach England under British con voy, the next logical step would be the use of American convoys. Many people shudder at this prospect. But since we have pledged ourselvs to aiding the democracies resisting aggres sion, let us be consistent with that policy. The next probable step follow ing the use of American convoys would be the sinking of these very ships by the German U boats. How long the American public can swallow their pride and allow this to happen, no one may predict. But if the worst decision should be forced upon our American Congress, it is my firm belief that the American public (out side of a few isolationists) would “take it on the chin” and see this policy through to ultimate victory. We youths despise war with all its death and destruction, but more than that we abhor unpro voked aggression. We are no cowards who cringe at the very thought that we may enter war. Now that we have officially pledged our utmost aid to Brit ain, China, and Greece, it would be cowardly to back down meek ly in the face of possible war. If we are prepared to live and bargain under Hitlerism, if we are willing to see our freedom of thought, speech, and religion for ever banished, and if we ?an be contented to live from day to day with the sword of economic and military invasion hanging over our heads, then let aid to the de mocracies be withdrawn, and let us remain indifferent to the de feat of England. Paul F. Lee. P.S. As a challenge, won’t you please deinitely state your stand regarding aid to Britain? There seems to be a great deal of in consistency in your reasoning.
