PEACE PUZZLE
Sir,On his return from overseas, the Prime Minister declared: “We are at war.” General Clay says: “The forces will be ready next year.” Mr Menzies forecast war within three years. My feelings are aptly, expressed by the “Economist/’ of November 11: “There has been—and still is —on both sides of the struggle between Stalinism and the free world the assumption that neither wants nor is ready to start a world war. Each, in case it might be wrong, makes formidable military and ideological preparations. Each is sufficiently ill informed or doubtful about the intentions of the othe? to read into a breach of the rules of cold war more than may be intended. One side’s ‘war of liberation’ is the other side’s ‘defence against agto the diplomatists, but it is dismally obscure to the znan in the street.”— Yours, etc., LIBERTARIAN. March 5, 1961.
