"SYMPHONLA DIABOLICA"
Sir, —The overseas news page in your Friday issue is very characteristic. Such headlines as ‘‘Rioting in. Calcutta,”. “Madras State Clash,” “Violent Riot in Paris,” ‘‘Canal Zone Crisis. “Purge in Soviet Georgia,” “East German Purge,” “Big Offensive on Wide Front,” and others, indicate the true state of the world’s feelings. The photographs of a statesman, a soldier, and a volcano (on the same page) for the imaginative reader symbolically supplement the above. Successive composition, indeed! But what a sad realityl And what a surprising self-.
delusion that in spite of the disappearing peace of mind in human beings, we prefer not to believe that the world’s peace is reduced to mere words and wishful thinking!—Yours, etc., TROUBLE ON HORIZON. July 18, 1953.
