To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

The discussion brought up by Mr. Fleek is not a new issue in this part of the country. The American Legion, after weighing the pros and cons of Mr. Kreisler's case, agreed that although Mr. Kreisler had the misfortune of being born an Austrian he did nothing more than any real man would have done in fighting for his country. Except for the fact that he fought in the Austrian Army, nothing has been shown to his discredit. In view of these facts, the American Legion has concluded to withdraw its objections to his appearance on the American concert stage.

It is therefore without the objection of the American Legion, which represents the most active American patriotic organization, that the Glee Club has obtained the services of Mr. Kreisler as the soloist for their concert on February 27 at Symphony Hall.

In conclusion, we feel that the large majority of thinking Americans are trying to get away from the narrow attitude represented by Mr. Fleek's protest, and we therefore feel that out policy is by no means ill-considered.
