To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

Alfred H. King's letter in today's CRIMSON, captioned "Wary of Disarmaments", is an exposition of the very spirit which may produce a second Versailles at the November conference. It reminds one of the boy who wants to have his cake and eat it at the same time. Mr. King wants a solution of the world's problems and yet is disinclined to reduce in any degree one of the factors which keeps those problems in an explosive state. If a community of quarrelsome individuals could not agree to throw away their guns altogether but could agree at least not to start new private arsenals, in time those individuals would see the folly of having guns at all. The agreement not to increase their armaments would force the members of that community to increase their wits and to come to terms by arbitration, compromise or private bargaining. "The way to disarm is to disarm". The way to kill the scorching beast is not to feed him. HARRY REIFF '25.   October 18, 1921.
