Disarming Dissension

To the Editors of the Crimson:

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

I missed your issue of October 23rd with its report about the supplanting of the Harvard-Radcliffe Committee to Study Disarmament by a Council Against Appeasement. While I do not wish to go into the merits of the procedure by which this was accomplished, I do want to disasociate myself from the statement that the change was made necessary by my speech to the Committee on October 2nd.

My comment about the impractibility of disarmament schemes was addressed entirely to a remark of the speaker preceding me who argued that our only alternatives were world government of war. I have always believed it essential that we always be ready to negotiate on this subject. This was also Professor Emer son's interpretation of my remarks. His views in his letter to the CRIMSON of October 25th are shared completely by me.  Henry A. Kissinge
