Brinton Attacks Bertrand Russell For Article Criticizing Americans

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Bertrand Russell's criticism of Americans in last week's issue of "Look" magazine "has done nothing to improve relations between the United States and Great Britain," Crane Brinton '19, McLean Professor of Ancient and Modern History charges today in an answering article.

Brinton's article entitled "Should the British Nag Us?", decries Russell's use of "half-truths." Russell "just does not seem to have a grasp of reality" on the matters of Korea, American attitudes toward the British Labor government, and what Britons and Americans have invented, stated Brinton.

He concluded that British-American relations should be improved by understanding, not lecturing and nagging.
