Fencing and the War
As we go to press with this issue of The Riposte, the United States is at war. Compared with the incalculable questions that this fact brings to all citizens of this country, the questions that we might ask about the sport that this magazine represents seem incredibly small. Not enough time has passed since the declaration of war so that the country might be in any sense called adjusted to a war economy. We do not know what plans are being made for the nation's youth; we do not at this time know whether or not fencing will continue as a formal sport for the full season. We do not know whether it will be possible for the present editorial board to bring The Riposte to you on its announced schedule for the remainder of the season.
Until the plans of national leaders have been announced and put into action, it is difficult to answer the many questions that will doubtless be asked by friends of fencing. From now on we will try to keep our readers fully informed of any fencing activities which may be of national interest. In addition, we will do our best to keep the publication schedule going.
