"Bundles or Breathitt"
On the afternoon of Friday last, a
group of the more prominent
had a tea.
Now ordinarily such an occurrence
would mean no more to a newspaper
than a few sticks on the society page,
maybe less.
But this was no ordinary tea. Its
purpose was to discuss the formation
of "Bundles for Britain."
From what I can gather from the
local press on the object of "Bundles
for Britain" is for Mr. and Mrs.
Public to toss everything into hampers from the family bus to those
socks that are too far gone for darn-biand to ship them to the British
Isles.
One nice lady gave an ambulance.
This is all well and good. Charity
is always something that warms the
soul, that makes one feel big, even
magnanimous.
However:
Only last March Mr. John F. Day,
a reliable reporter, created some
stir with an article in the local
paper describing conditions in Breathitt County, Kentucky.
Speaking of Breathitt county Mr.
Day said; "Like a great walnut
cleaned of its meat it lies there, a
shell no timber, no coal, no petroleum, no industries, no farm land
really farmable."
He went on to point out that at
that time two thirds of the people
of Breathitt county were getting
Borne sort of relief and that inadequate, that there were only two
practicing physicians to serve 22,000
people.
He quoted a WPA commodity
clerk as saying that 2,557 families
or about 15.342 persons were receiv
ing food supplies.
(Of course, it must be remembered
that Mr. Day described conditions
in March. Now that summer is here
snd gardens are producing the num
ber is less. But winter will come
and Breathitt will still be there with
"no timber, no coal, no petroleum,
no industries, no farm land really

realistic terms with him is not unaslike discussing contemporary
trophysics with Brother Voliva of
Zion City who believes the earth is
flat and the stars are hung on chandeliers.
At the outset, let me say that Professor Knight's gestures of
and friendliness are
the bunk. He is not the sort of fellow who likes to get opinions other
than his own out in the open and
have them threshed out. He believes
in censorship if he can get away
with it. He wrote President Donovan
of Richmond a letter prior to my
arrival urging him to cancel my
lecturing appointment at Eastern
State Teachers' College and protects
his students from heresies. Unfortunately for him, he underestimated
President Donovan's devotion to

In this rapidly moving play Maxwell Anderson has employed the

"Mary of Scotland", "Elizabeth, the Queen". "Wingless Victory", and "High Tor". "Key Largo" is considerd by many, however, to

sponsibilities.
It must have been a bitter pill for
for Professor Knight to swallow
when he learned that prominent
citizens in Lexington and leading
members of the University faculty
had invited me to lecture at the
University on the 19th. At any rate,
he tried to confound me by sending
me in advance, by one of his students, a series of questions which
indeed,
could have been answered
would never have been asked by
any intelligent high school student.
I answered them at the outset of the
question period, but I was kind
enough to Professor Knight not to
let the audience know that he was
the author of the questions.
A year ago. Professor Knight confined himself to bona fide statements
made by me. This year, he seems to
have adopted the technique of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, namely to attribute to me statements I never
made and then to sail into me about
the fabrications.

Of Historian's
Flippancies
Editor's Note Following is a letter by Prof. Grant C, Knight of the
English department in reply to the
letter of Doctor Barnes'.
By GRANT C. KNIGHT

If I may be allowed one more
opportunity to offer a rebuttal to
the arguments of Mr. Harry Elmer
Barnes I promise to ask thereafter
for no more space to carry on a
controversy which, after all, is now
nation-wid- e
and In better hands
than mine. But since Mr. Bames'
communication to you under date
of 27th August contains some statements which I, in my simplicity of
mind, do not understand, and some
others about me which are certainly
not true, I wish to answer him
briefly.
I do not understand, for example,
his declaration that he is "not
ashamed of Thomas Jefferson and
,r liidsctii'Jsivj?.
!DeuU,ra,oM

even if Professor Knight and Herbert Agar appear (sic) to be." How
this relates to our debate I do not
know, even if it were true. But he
does go on to say that he is "more
loyal to the American flag than tc
the Union Jack." Since I am unable to discover that Mr. Barnes
performed any active service for
that flag in 1917-1we can be
pleased to receive the assurance
that his loyalty is not to be doubted.
But as I have said over and over,
the point of the whole discussion
is not whether the United States
should help the British Empire for
the sake of Englishmen; it is whether it would not be wise to help it
for our own sakes. That is the crux
of the difference between Mr. Barnes
and me, and I admit that I am
growing weary of his flippant red
herrings.
Especially is that true when his
red herrings are not even genuine.
He alleges, for instance, that I am
"not the sort of fellow who likes

out in the open and get them
thrashed out." That charge can be
contradicted by any student who
in the last 18 years has sat in my
classes at the University. He goes
on to make a stranger statement.
"Professor Knight doubts that Germany can conquer England, when
the latter is separated from Hitler's
mechanized divisions by less than
thirty miles of water." I cannot
conceive how Mr. Barnes dare attribute such an opinion to me. tor
anyone who knows me will vouch
for the fact that last September I
predicted that Germany would defeat the Allies, and that as a consequence the people of the United
States would ultimately lose what
they have regarded as the rights of
men. It is because I have felt and
do feel that following Mr. Barnes'
advice is imperiling everything in
which I have believed, everything
which I have taught, everything
which makes life free and digni- fled that I have opposed him as

He pointed out that 56 percent of
the people who die in Breathitt have
not had the care of a physician at
any time during their illness.
AH of which makes one wonder
if "Bundles for Breathitt" would not
be more appropos for the prominent citizens of Lexington to support than "Bundles for Britain."
Of course, it is not so glamorous
taking care of neighbors as it is
helping someone far away.
Or does just suggesting that the
Blue grass should help Breathitt before Britain make me a fifth columnist?
