CHILDREN IMMIGRANTS
Sir, —I would like to answer “Lest We Regret’s” letter in your issue dated June 7. It is hard to believe that there is anybody in this so-called enlightened country who can be so narrow in outlook. Very probably a large number of these orphaned Polish children’s fathers were lost fighting shoulder to shoulder.with us. God preserve us from that unfriendly word alien, as applied to the children of such a courageous ally. Although Great Britain’s orphaned children,have suffered, their sufferings on the whole are not comparable with those of the occupied countries. The isolationist and imperialistic note in “Lest We Regret’s” letter is very far from being in accord with the many times reiterated assertion of our leaders that we and our allies are waging this war for the full liberation of all subjected peoples. A lasting peace can only be obtained by a ’ far fuller brotherhood of' the ’ peoples of all nations.—Yours, etc., E.A.A. June 7, 1944.
