RELATIONS WITH U.S.
Sir, —A great philosopher once defined two subjects as of perennial interest —the starry heavens without, the moral law within. One gives perspective, the idea of humanity one in
origin and destiny; the other points the way to control that destiny. Even “Kiwi” must see that no political principle is worth an atomic war, because of its obvious chaotic results. The world problem is not one for the military -mentality; attack hardens resistance, but calls for envisioning the ultimate solution, then traversing the road of directionally sound expediency and compromise. The insurance and control of security are intrinsic in a state of mind, not nationality, and they call for ripeness of understanding and emotional equilibrium to gain release as prisoners of the past for pioneers of the future. It is possible to see greener social pastures over the bridge of India than across the dam of current United States policy.—Yours, etc.,
MAIN SEQUENCE. July 21, 1954.
