Aid Needed in Sending
American Books
To England
February 24
To the Editors:
It was gratifying to note the
publication of Mrs. Desmond
Flower’s letter in the last issue of
the News. Mrs. Flowers asks for
help in distributing American pub-
lications and books among English
students. It seems to me that this
ts an exact case of working for
better understanding and good re-
lations between the United States
and Great Britain. There is need
for enlightenment rather than im-
provement. It would be nice, for
example, if most average English-
men didn’t believe that most aver-
age Americans pack revolvers a la
Hollywood.

“How is BMC? While you suf-
fer from snow, we are having glor-
ious spring weather, and all the
crocuses are out along the “Backs.”
Cambridge is such a pleasant place

developed a system for loaning
books and publications to various
groups in this country and in Eng-
land. .Since they do know what
is available-and what is needed in
both countries, it would seem wise
to consult them before making an)
moves. Mrs. Flower’s suggestior
for a subscription to be given by
us to one of the English Commo
Rooms is an excellent one. How.
ever, in addition to that, the con-
tact between countries and be-
tween peoples would be more live
dy if the exchange were constant.
Whether Bryn Mawr wants to
help and be helped should be decid
ed by the student body. Perhaps
the al:eady existing Library Com-
‘mittee could investigate, carry the
issue to the hall, and then, with
the support of the Library and
Administration, go to the E.S.U.
for their help.
It is through this kind of ex-
change that real understanding
and real friendship is built up.
