A SALUTE TO WALLACE
Sir, —Against the background of politicians and power politics it is refreshing indeed to find a statesman, whose incisive quality of thinking and candour of expression, once again, as did Lincoln before him, recognises his prime duty and responsibility to the common man. To expose the predisposing, not proximate causes, to disassociate himself from a policy of recklessness which can only continue to put secondary difficulties before primary agreements, takes a quality of statesmanship which marks Wallace a champion of that freedom from fear—of the days to come—which should arouse the quiescent forces of peace into action. It is still possible to widen the bridge into the promised land of peace, power, and plenty; it is still possible to participate in that pilgrimage together, if we put ballots before bullets, brains before bombs, statesmen before politicians.—Yours, etc., « . , n GREEN PASTURES. September 22, 1946.
