PEACE
Sir, —It is to be hoped that people Will heed the waning of Mr Randolph Churchill. “If Stalin should achieve control of France, through his fifth column,” says William C. Bullitt, former Ambassador to Russia and France, “the French Government would become our enemy. And the people of France would be driven by Communist secret police and firing squads to obey his orders. We should therefore have to face Stalin’s air force, camouflaged by French markings, at Casablanca and Dakar—which lies opposite the bulge of Brazil. We should have Stalin’s planes in the French Caribbean islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe, close to the Panama Canal, and at St. Pierre and Miquelon, close to the entrance of the St. Lawrence river. Control of France by Stalin would mean a Communist Europe. England Would face the prospect of Russian rockets, far more powerful than the 'German Vi’s and V2’s launched from France.” —Yours, etc., SEA OF AZOF. October 4, 1947.
