Sirs: Your reply to John F. Walther (TIME, June 5) was a masterful bit of reticence and understatement. As a ten-year cover-to-cover reader, I can recall without referring to your files that you did your very best to depict the seriousness of the international situation not only after Pearl Harbor and before Bataan.
