Treason?

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

In your editorial of the nineteenth, you state: ". . . the Vatican has channels of information that the United States would do well to tap;" as a reason for sending an ambassador to the Vatican. If this is a justifiable reason, it would seem we are admitting that the treason trials of several priests by the Communists were also justifiable.

On the other hand, if the Vatican has information which would aid the United States in the fight for freedom, the Pope has merely to telephone our Ambassador in Rome. Name Withheld by Request
