Letters to The Star
DR.. Brown Explains Importance
of Anglo-American Ties

To the Editor Of The Star:
Criticism of a valiant ally fighting a
desperate war on many battlefields is as
unwise as it is bad form. 1t is particu-
larly bad form when the Allies greatly
are indebted to each other and when the
war is not yet won or the future peace
assured.
The critics of the foreign policies OF
Great Britain and of the United States
now seriously are endangering the unity
OF the United Nations. They are under
mining the foundations OF just and
durable peace.
Without full knowledge of the facts
in every such instance as Poland, Greece,
Italy or the Baltic States, the critics
only add confusion and distrust that
aids our enemies. Whatever the legal
limitations on liberty of speech in war
time may be, there certainly exist moral
and patriotic limitations.
The United States and Great Britain
owe too much to each other to permit
ungenerous criticism or acrimonious re-
ordinations to separate them. AS for
ourselves, how could we ever forget that
tragic moment after Dunkirk when only
the epic heroism OF the British people
saved the United States from the i'm
pending danger of having to fight it out
alone against the Axis on two oceansl
Nor should we ever forget the OPEN
hearted hospitality Of the British people
to our servicemen or their generous rec
ognition of the fighting qualities of our
soldiers fighting side by side with their
men in Africa, Italy, France, Germany
and India.
The United Nations must remain
united for peace as well as war. There
will be honest and inevitable differences
of views on foreign policies. There exist
national and personal grievances and
dislikes. But it is evident that the
future security of the world depends
primarily and ultimately on the close
partnership of those English-speaking
peoples who share common traditions,
common ideals and common dangers.
We cannot allow dislikes, prejudices or
grievances to stand In the way Of the
solidarity and harmony of this partner
ship.
The English-Speaking Union was
organized 25 years ago ito draw together
in the bond of comradeship the English
speaking peoples Of the world" and "to
strengthen the friendly relationship be-
tween the peoples of the United States
Of America and of the British Common
wealth by disseminating knowledge of
each to the other and by inspiring rev.
erence for their common traditions"
This high purpose now has become q
solemn obligation in this tragic crisis
of civilization.
The Washington Branch Of the
English-Speaking Union intends to use
every means in its power to combat mis-
representations of our British ally and to
encourage the friendliest understand
ings. We can do this effectively only by
the cooperation OF all those who realize
the necessity of strengthening the bonds
that tie us all together in the defense
of our common interests and the future
peace Of the world In this sense the
home front has special obligation to
those on the fighting front.
PHILIP MARSHALL BROWN.
President of the Washington Branch
Of the English Speaking Union.

Not Interested in Fala

To the Editor Of The Star:
You try to impress upon us the fact
that there is a shortage of paper, and
the necessity of conserving and salvag-
ing it.
Why. then, do you waste your allot-
ment of newsprint and incidentally IN
suit the intelligence of your readers by
publishing the Notwithstanding news item
found in the lower right-hand corner
Of the front page of Mondays Star?
Who cares about the love life of Fala,
anyway, and how 1t is taken care Of?
So far as the public and the supply of
newsprint are concerned, such news
might well remain a state secret" and
the general public as well as ''metropoli-
tan dailies and news services" remain
"in ignorance of the event"

honorably discharged and are now
at home with their father Charles

win is still on duty in this country.
And now here are a few bits of in
formation about the four boys.
Sgt. Bennett r. Baker entered the

ing his service spent nine months
in India, where he unfortunately
contracted Malaria. He was invalid
ed back to the States in November,
1914, and received his discharge last
month.

two of which were spent overseas.
He crossed over into France on

be wounded on June II, 1914 After
spending some time in hospitals
overseas, during which he received
the Purple Heart, he was returned
to the States and sent to an army
hospital at Fort Story, Virginia, for
recuperation, from where he re-
ceived his discharge in October.

Der, 1912, is among the many boys
who are sweating it out" in the
Philippines awaiting transportation

about rank, since all four are ser
geants.

Quiz For MdrYlanders
Answer to Question 1:

Nineteen states in America have
racing but nowhere are there
more enthusiastic devotees than
in Maryland. In a Benson & Ben
son survey seven out of every ten
Marylanders said they attended
racing. Maryland is one of the
few states with breeding, fox-
hunting, hunt racing, brush rae
ing, post-and-rail steeplechasing,
horse shows, pony clubs, and just
plain horseback riding.
