AN "IMPARTIAL OBSERVER"

The Mail

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

As a member of the Harvard Young Republican Club, I would like to voice a protest over your editorial entitled Mr. Thomson's Tactics.

It is unfortunate, I believe that a newspaper which disagrees with an ideology must attack it by throwing unfounded charges upon its campus representatives, using cheap and underhanded tactics to vilify those representatives. Your editorial comment against Mr. Thomson was such an attack. By traducing the duly elected officers of the HYRC, you have attacked the membership itself, which has expressed confidence in these officers.

The CRIMSON tendency to meddle in the affairs of Harvard political clubs, even to the extent of suggesting that the members of the HYRC "had better do a little mending," is beyond all defense or excuse. If the CRIMSON is to make any pretense of being an "impartial observer" of the Harvard scene, a paper of merit, it must leave the path of "cheap politics" which it has travelled too often in the past. James H. Manahan '58
