...straighten that out. I would like to say that there was no support from me of the editorial in The Dartmouth of October 21. As perhaps is the case in your paper, the editor-in-chief is the sole judge on editorial policy, where there is a conflict. As it happened, the editorial of October 21 was one with which I did not agree...
...second misapprehension is contained in his denunciation of people (like myself) who can conceive of "no conclusion of conflict except the crushing of an enemy, even, when that enemy is ready to renounce wicked leadership." The misapprehension is in the last clause. There is not the slightest evidence, so far as I know, that the enemy is ready to "renounce a wicked leadership."

The best of England has no such desire...
...simple. But no, now we are to help Russia because Stalin has a sense of humor; because the Russians are devotees of religion. This line of reasoning is dangerous and will have a tremendous effect in canceling out the good ends for which we have taken sides in the conflict. It is not a question, of the end justifying the means, it is a question of the means ruining the ends...
