RUSSIA AND WORLD PEACE
Sir, —Absolute disgust prompts my protest against the erroneous propaganda spurted by Mr H. Winston Rhodes in the radio session “Public Opinion” entitled “Russia and World Peace.” That such a doubtful authority should be permitted to broadcast such an anti-democratic, pseudoblepsis philosophy is nothing to the credit of 3ZB. To appraise Russia, with its Communism, as some poor, harmless nation persecuted by the democracies, is not consistent with Russia’s expansionist policy, or the fermenting of industrial unrest in an already troubled world. I consider that public opinion does'* not share Mr Rhodes’s Chamberlain-like unreasonable sense of appeasement. Mi* Rhodes should stick to his ridiculous trust in Russia if he will, but at least learn this from the British way of life—it is wrong to hit below the belt and kick a nation in the stomach when ,it is down.—Yours, etc., T GEO. M. EDMONDS. January 11, 1948.
