It is impossible to print this because (1) it is at anonymous letter dealing with a very toeciy subject, (2) it would aceomplish nothing yet woli arouse much ill will. In view of these facts we stilt consider the letter important enouiglh to let the writer know our feelings on the sub.ijert. To the writer We agree w\ith you absolutely. although we think that you have left out some argiuiimets of the opposite side. The best s' iggestion we have is that you face the situation as one which must be accepted if present plans coltinue and remember that you might have left mut some arguments of the opponent. If any readers are wondering what this is all about don't ask its. We.won't tell.
