Favor More Aid

DARTMOUTH FACULTY and staff members who answered a questionnaire circulated by the American Defense Dartmouth Group just before Christmas vacation not only went on record overwhelmingly for greater aid to Britain but also favored, by a 2-to-1 ratio, the sending of war materials in American ships convoyed by the United States Navy.

The faculty and staff agreed, 168 to 3, that the maintenance of Great Britain as a military outpost served this country's best interests, and 158 to 10, that the United States should take action without regard to the attitude of the Axis powers. All who answered the question agreed that a greatly accelerated rate of production is imperative, and only five voted against curtailment of civilian production and distribution to whatever extent required by the American defense program.

On questions of financial aid, the faculty and staff approved loans to Great Britain, 72 to 26, and were in greater favor of subsidies, 141 to 6.
