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mocracies be withdrawn, and let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.
