INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
Sir—The problem facing humanity to-day is not so involved as Dr. Sutherland indicated in his address. Using his own terms, the choice is simply between the psychology of common interest and power politics, which includes federalism both of the fascist order and that unde, the banner of Federal Union. Common interest demands freedom in security. International government would deny that right. Backed by military- force it would impose its authority. aver .trade,-finance,- foreign relations, and citizenship. It would not give security against war or revolt. India and Eire indicate the problem caused by imposing government on peoples who are not absolutely free. Regarding harmonious international co-operation, this could easily be achieved through national trade representation in regional clearing houses for national surpluses, provided the people of each nation were credited with purchasing power equal to the value of their production at home and as indicated from the respective clearing houses.—Yours, etc., ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY. September 24, 1942.
