RELATIONS WITH U.S.
Sir, —“E.M.N.’s” parroting of “America sat bleeding England with her cash and carry” is becoming ( tedious. This is merely a hysterical i way of saying, “Britain paid for goods : bought,” which is normal procedure. - 1 Having involved herself in a war to 1 save the Poles, whom she could never 1 have saved anyway, England attemp- : ted to involve the United States, as , well, having already dragged New Zealand and the rest of the Empire in to help her. I fail to see why America should go to war over Poland, which is now worse off than in 1939. In any case, in spite of all the glorious promises of British politicians, the disastrous defeats in Malaya, Singapore and Burma were entirely a British responsibility, owing to British stupidity. The English formula, “When beaten, blame the Yanks,” I find tiresome. I think it stems from a feeling of inferiority and incompetence and serves no good purpose.—Yours, etc., APTERYX. July 7, 1954.
