U. s. Senator John A. Danaher is acting contrary to the wishes of a majority of Connecticut voters in his stand on conscription, defense and aid for Britain, says the Connecti- cut Chapter of the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies in an answer today to state issued Tuesday by the senator.
 "Is it possible you would welcome Nazi- Fascist victoryp" the com- mittee inquires of Senator Danaher in its letter.
 The committee charges Senator Danaher with blindness of vision" and intense hatred of England" i, and declares that Britain represents Americas last line of defense against Hitler.
 Reply Prepared
 The reply to Senator Danaher by the Committee to to Aid America by Defending the Allies follows:
 Every poll or survey taken in Connecticut confirms the fact that huge majority of its citizens are agreed: That American prepared- ness is duty not to be shirked; that President Roosevelt and Candi- date Willlzie are of identical opinion on defense matters; that every pos sible aid be given Britain short of a declaration of war; that we are fav- orable to the obtaining of the best possible terms with Britain for na- val bases on British territory for American hemisphere defenses."
 "As Connecticut citizens whose representatives you are, we have the civic and moral right to expect no less from you.
 we admit that the name of our organization is confusing to many, but why a man of your knowledge of foreign affairs should ask what Alles?" puzzles us. We did not and do not speak of our Allies. It is them we would aid. Do you not know that Canada, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa are free and independent entities joined to
