...communication in today's issue, Mr. Hudson Maxim replies to the CRIMSON'S criticism of the free distribution of his book, "Defenseless America," to the Senior class. He begins his answer with the statement that even though his advice is mistaken, "it does no harm to warn the country of dangers that do not exist." Does a warning which calls for a radical change in the national policy, involving the expenditure of millions of dollars, do no harm if it happens to be based on false assumptions...
...Maxim then attacks the errors of a too idealistic pacifism. There is no doubt that idealists and dreamers enlisted in this cause have put forth many impractical theories and proposals. This does not affect the maintenance of a sane and temperate attitude in the question of armament increase. A sharp contrast between the two types of pacifist has just been furnished by the resignation of Mr. Bryan, due to his disagreement with President Wilson. The President's policy, never that of non-resistance, has been such as to inspire the confidence and support of the whole country...
...interest some of your readers of Hudson Maxim's "Defenseless America" to look at a chart (p. 169) showing the strength of the various navies. In this chart the "28" German "dreadnaughts" are shown in frowning black with an addition for "battle-cruisers."

The German "dreadnaughts" are numbered from 1 to 28 and include the battle-cruisers, one of which is the much talked of "Goeben," now leading a dissolute life as a Turkish cruiser. Six of the "28" are building. Nine...

The Seniors do not wish to have the view of this gift expressed by the CRIMSON's editorial of yesterday accepted as the one voicing their sentiments as a whole, and we, at least, disclaim any attempt of the CRIMSON to take the obligation from our shoulders, and hereby express our thanks to Mr. Maxim for his gift, and our appreciation of his personal sacrifice.

...Maxim is the inventor of "maxi-mite" and of numerous other explosives and ordnance improvements. He is at present heavily interested in this work. Is there no connection between this fact and the free distribution of a work, the sole purpose of which is to advise a radical increase in military equipment? Is it significant that this book, prepared and distributed at great expense to the author, should contain in its first chapter a vigorous and lengthy assertion that "private manufacturers of war materials should be encouraged by the government"? If Mr. Maxim's motives are above question...
