Dear Sir:
HAVE been following the article
i ON the News" very closely and
consider ID a very well written and
carefully thOnght-out column. The
historical facts are very accurate
But do you not think il tends to
cause bad feeling between these
two great free" powers?
Remember that at the time of
the American Revolution, we were
all Engiishmen whoCwere object
ing to unfair taxes.
This present alliance Is not one
between former enemies, but
rather one between the last two
nations who have at least a SEM
blance of personal freedom.
We see mutual danger in the
sudden rise of an unfriendly, ag-
gressivo power.
As one, of the great men who
signed the Declaration of indie
pendenco said:
We must all hang to-
gethcr.. ~or most dSSurediy
