To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

The mass meeting at Lowell House last night adopted a resolution favoring a joint, international, economic boycott against Japan. This action was to be expected. For the faculty members, who lead the discussion, all favored the resolution. Thereafter, the student speakers from the floor accepted--as a premise--that the position of Japan is unjustifiable. The matter, thus, resolved itself into a discussion of the best means with which to curb Japanese aggression.

We are not at all sure that the entire guilt rests on Japanese shoulders, as the speakers led us to believe. In the past, international misunderstandings have been far more complex. To enable us to grasp the complications of the present crisis, we should have heard at least one speaker presenting possible justifications for Japanese action.

Another side to the question of guilt must exist. To let it be heard is the only truly liberal attitude. Robert Mandel '34.   Carl Henry Levy '34.
