Comment: In the editorial of the sixth issue of Life and Letters To-day Herring and Townshend criticise the apparent acceptance of a peace at all costs and the passivity that seemingly characterise the British government towards the fascist associations and demonstrations that dangerously and not too slyly (in the editors' opinion) have begun spreading in England too, as the episode with Oswald Mosley's men they quote in these pages can prove. According to Herring and Townshend, peace should rather be built through an openness to those who need help, thus through solidarity. In this, as in other following editorials, they mention the very difficult situation of the ex-soldiers, severely injured and thus sent back home, and ask those who can a contribute to relieve their sufferings, as a moral participation to the reconstruction of what the war destroys, as it is in those days for Madrid, where they are truly defending freedom, according to the editors.
