To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

I observe in the morning paper that the Methodists in conference assembled have voted that to participate in even a defensive war is unrighteous. To these pious folk violation of the Volstead Act is little better than treason. But treason on itself does not apparently particularly revolt them.

It is strange that such persons should be the loudest advocates of legislation most unpalatable to a great number, when should such a measure actually provoke forcible resistance, their scruples would prevent their striking a blow to enforce it. Others, perhaps, would be permitted to emperll their souls in the good cause.

Our peaceful friends are, I am afraid, forgetful that had their spiritual ancesters been as squeamish as themselves they would have all been quietly and efficiently incinerated, and thereby, deprived of progeny whether of the flesh or of the intellect. Had, there been no Gustavus Adolphus, we should not now possess the ineathnable blessings of Methodism. Hgit Whitney '25.
