stampeding. ruthless capitalism would
grow in power here. Why be learnedly
technical in defining "aggression?" Our
kind OF capitalism is the aggressor; ag-
greSsion is its motor power-a wild bull
with the world it's pampas
G. L. Rees.
In the war for mems minds America
is not identified as the champion of the
underdog, and so the underdogs fight for
Stain.
I'm Republican myself, but obviously
our reactionaries need a good, swift
kick in the pants to awake them. We
can't oppose communism with shibbo-
leths and reactionary capitalism. Maybe
it's not too late to show the world un-
dreamed-of progress under our system.
Maybe.

Our military men have implied by
their actions and statements that they
consider Koreans an inferior race and
evidently assume we are to annex that
country as a colony of the United States.
Under such conditions, it is no wonder
South Koreans prove bad soldiers and
leave all the fighting to the Yanks.
President Rhee admits economic and
political conditions are such that he can
not remain in power without the aid of
American arms and men, hence the
needless sacrifice of our troops on an
ignoble mission, We should recall our
armies and leave Korea to the Koreans,
for so long as we remain there will be
war and hatred for us as foreign ag-
greSsorS.
J. Wilbur Potherby.
Glancing at an Asiatic map, we observe
that Korea is closely adjacent to Russia.
In consideration of the fact that war has
continued in that locality for centuries,
would it not be reasonably intelligent for
the United States to withdraw? We need
not base that consideration on an idea,
that we are fearful, but it is our humble
desire to avoid a continuously constant
clash. .
Rawley Cartwright Donohue.
We have started something that we
cannot stop. But we might be doing
something toward making both sides

Of conclusive result in the field. When
all the inevitable destruction of life and
property has been accomplished, the
United States and Russia will have to
get around table and use minds and
hearts to find way to get along together
peacefully.
In the war that we have helped to
start-regardless of comparative merits

may be absolutely certain that Russia
will not overlook Washington as a pri-
mary objective for atom bombs and
biological methods of mass extermina-
ton even more thorough. am talking
about something Immediately concern
ing you.
I am not talking about appeasement
Of Russia-I do not believe in appease-
ment any more than I do in war. But
Russia is not yet officially involved in
World War III on world scale. There
is still chance that the present conflict
may be confined to Korea alone Wouldn't
that be better-for all of us-than atom
bombs?
David Darrin.
In an outright shooting war between
Russian and the United States, it is
highly improbable that Washington and
New York would be bombed. These cities
contain SO many Russian agents, waiting
for the big "take-over." that killing them
would be disadvantage.
Worried American.

Once again we are back to where we
started, one generation going to war so
that the next one can live in freedom
and peace. Only this time, it is the
same generation going the second and
third time. You would think people
would not be fooled that often. You also
wonder if it is worth it. 1t smells the
same every time.
