To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

It was reported in the Harvard CRIMSON as well as in other papers of Boston, Thursday, November 26, that the Chinese students at Harvard were planning to send an armada of 2000 airplanes to blow Tokio off the map, and that I, the undersigned, was the first student to volunteer as pilot of one of the fleet of planes. This report has pushed many questionnaires to me.

For the purpose of making myself properly understood, I beg to say that I have volunteered as a pilot in order to fulfill my duty as a citizen of the Republic of China to drive the barbarous invaders out of Manchuria, to recover out territory occupied by them in Manchuria, and to protect our fellow citizens there.

I neither mean nor believe that by bombing raids on Tokio or other Japanese cities we can have the above objects realized and secure peace; they will only make innocent civilians suffer. That is what the Japanese army has done and is going to do in Manchuria, and that will never, as far as the world sees, justify its ends. S. Y. Ko 2G.
