For independent, symmetric random variables $(\xi_n)$, $E\left(\left(\sum\limits_n\xi_n\right)^2\land1\right)\le\sum\limits_nE(\xi_n^2\land1)$ The following problem appears as an exercise in the Russian version of Probability, Shiryaev, 2003 edition(it seems that no English version containing this problem is available yet). 

Let $\xi_1,\xi_2,\ldots$ be independent, symmetrically distributed random variables. Then
  $$\mathsf E\left(\left(\sum_n\xi_n\right)^2\land1 \right)\le\sum_n\mathsf E(\xi_n^2\land1)$$


To avoid discussing convergence issue, I would like to assume that the summation is finite. It's not quite clear from context what "symmetrically distributed" means, but it's reasonable to guess this means $\xi_n$ and $-\xi_n$ has the same distribution. In this sense, I tried to write,
$$\mathsf E\left(\left(\sum_{n=1}^N\xi_n\right)^2\land1 \right)=\int(x^2\land1)dF_{S_N}(x)=2\int_0^\infty(x^2\land1)dF_{S_N}(x)$$
and
$$\mathsf E(\xi_n^2\land1)=\int(x^2\land1)dF_{\xi_n}(x)=2\int_0^\infty(x^2\land1)dF_{\xi_n}(x)$$
and, after integrating by parts, reduce the problem to proving
$$\int_0^1x\left(\mathsf P(S_N\ge x)-\sum_{n=1}^N\mathsf P(\xi_n\ge x)\right)dx\le0$$
The problem would be settled if
$$\mathsf P\left(\sum_{n=1}^N\xi_n\ge x\right)\le\sum_{n=1}^N\mathsf P(\xi_n\ge x),\quad 0\le x\le1$$
which is, unfortunately, not true in general.

My question: Is my approach above completely nonsense? Is it possible to turn it into a proof? If not, how to prove this inequality?

Edit. By induction, it suffices to prove for $N=2$, i.e. $\mathsf E((\xi_1+\xi_2)^2\land1)\le\mathsf E(\xi_1^2\land1)+\mathsf E(\xi_2^2\land1)$. This should be easier, but still not quite obvious for me.

What is wrong with the following much simpler argument: $$E\left\{\left(\sum {\xi_i}\right)^{2}  \wedge 1 \right\} \leq \left\{E\left(\sum \xi_i\right)^{2}\right\}\wedge 1\ = \left\{\sum E(\xi_i)^{2}\right\} \wedge1 \leq \sum \left\{E(\xi_i)^{2} \wedge 1\right\}$$ where we have used the fact that $E\xi_i \xi_j =0$ for $i \neq j$? 
Incidentally, if one of the variables has infinite expectation the inequality becomes trivial. 
I have also used the fact that $$\left\{\sum a_i^{2}\right\} \wedge1 \leq \sum \{a_i^{2} \wedge 1\}$$ for all non-negative numbers $a_i$.
