STUDENTS AND POLITICS
TO THE EDITOR OP THE TRESS. Sir, —Surely your correspondent, the Rev. P. H. Pritchett, is not serious in the suggestion that intelligent opinion at Home considers that the wave of pacifism that swept through the universities was due to the activity of instructed foreigners. If such was the case, it would certainly be just another instance of that curiously unbalanced mentality that is always so closely associated with the ultra-mili-tary mind—the same mentality that conjures up a spy in every foreigner. As the German authority is incorrect in attributing true pacifism to'timidity, he is just as likely to bo incorrect in his other statements. It is obvious that true pacifism requires courage and sacrifice of a high order.—Yours, etc FAIR COMMENT. July 27. 1938. ‘
