This clears up the question of guilt. Responsibility, however, is an other matter, and the fact that last spring's YRC leaders helped to get Fisher, as a Young Republican, into NSA, places some of the responsibility on the Club. This point is not so tenuous as it may seem. Fisher is conspicuously unsophisticated when it comes to politics--this is an other of the points that became clear last night--and the YRC must have known that in an important position, he might become subject to curious influences. Yet the YRC informed all its members that Fisher would...
...Fisher's lack of political sophistication that has caused a good bit of the trouble. Several of his accusations, such as the one on racial discrimination, are clearly unjustified, although they appear to come out of naivete rather than out of dishonesty. If, as the case seems to be, he was trying to recruit Negroes for the YRC at Registration by using a line involving Lincoln and the freeing of the Slaves, it was hardly discrimination on the part of the YRC to ask him not to continue his act. At least two of Fisher's other points cannot...
...these points concerns the alleged "support," allegedly supplied off and on, to Fisher in his NSA and Student Council activities. Both NSA and the Student Council are, of course, non-political organizations, and the YRC has been careful not to have any official say in Fisher's business. All that happened was this: three personal friends of Fisher's, all members of the nine-man YRC Planning Committee, give him advice, or reprimanded him, as the case demanded--strictly in their capacity as personal friends. It would not be fair, on this point, to accuse Fisher of a deficiency...
...second point concerns the relationship of Arthur W. Bingham to the League For Reaction. Nobody will Know, at least for a while, whether or not Bingham actually is a founder of the League, as Fisher states. True enough, Bingham has denied ever being member of the League. But he has failed to answer some of Fisher's more specific accusations, or even to comment on them...
...these accusations involves a 'phone call from Bingham to Fisher in which Bingham supposedly said that the League For Reaction was formed as a test-balloon to see how much bitterness there was over the results of the Presidential election. Bingham refused to say whether or not there has been such a 'phone call or whether he had made such a statement...
