In the last issue of Pundit there appeared an article with this statement: We spend too much time trying to figure out how to appease the Communists and coexist with them. Let's spend more time trying to figure out how to defeat them. This is quite a common reaction on the part of Americans to the present situation in the world, with the Soviet Union and Red China seeming to threaten the welfare of the other nations, including the United States. However, the American critics who keep talking about defeating the enemy, never tell us how this is to be accomplished. By threats, backed up by our military might? By attack or aggression, almost surely leading to World War III with nuclear bombs ? Certainly this would be the worst of all possible evils. Hundreds of millions of people killed, the earth laid waste, and no nation the victor in any true sense . The writer of the article in question goes on to say that what we need is a policy of rationalism and strength. This seems to mean that we should try to carry out a reason- able policy, and at the same time maintain our strength. Very good as far as it goes, but what sort of policy is rational or reasonable in our revolutionary world today? If a threat or show of force is not reasonable, what al- te rnative is there except to try to coexist with other nations, with as much understanding and as little friction as possible ? As the writer admits, peace is something all people should strive for. Then why does he state a moment later that peace groups are naive '? Now, a final comment on the United States as the leader of the free world. If the nations of the free world want to follow our lead, that is one thingg and if all goes well, we may take some satisfaction in it. But if, for e xample, the British want to sell buses to Cuba, or DeGau11e decides to recognize Red China, both contrary to our policies, what pos- ition is the United States to take ? Are we to rebuke publicly our long-term allies and tell them how they should act, as if we were the boss ? At the end of World War II the United States assumed the leadership of the free world because we were the only strong nation in a position to do so. Now the situation is changed and other nations have their own ideas as to the best policy to pursue. It would seem that the best we can do at present is to try to persuade other friendly nations to collaborate with us when possible, and for us in turn to try to collaborate with them. Arthur H. Washburn o o o L ,er Mg Happy Birthday, William. It is unfair that the serious sculpture damage which occurred during the Arts Festi- val be attributed to student carelessness and disregard for property Two of the four pieces that were damaged were situated on stands whose tops and bottoms were each connected by a column of wood. The bottom was no larger than the topg thus, when a piece of sculpture was placed on the stand, the latter became, top-heavy. None of the pieces of sculpture was wired to its stand. If they had been wired, the sculpture would have been prevented from being bumped off its stands. It would be unfair solely to accuse the art department of carelessness in not wiring the sculpture or providing adequate stands, just as it is unfair solely to accuse the students of carelessness. The sculpture damage should be thought of as an unfortunate incident, and it should not be used as a prime example of stu dihiffc O O O NEW HOPE PHARMACY New Hope, Penna.
