Moscow Dismissals
Sir. —The Moscow dismissals, resulting in Khrushchev, a pragmatist, becoming leader, appear to indicate that in Russia, as elsewhere, the outgrown post-war system is breaking up. The ballistic thermonuclear missile can be projected over 5000 miles and is so formidable that no sane nation dare start and risk counterattacks. International politicis is becoming aware of world opinion as a unifying force, an expression of the primary relationship of peoples to be implemented, not obstructed, by secondary political principles in its demand for supple rather than subtle minds to produce an ordered state of society. The Suez crisis underlined the urgency of a force for interpational sanctions, the Girard case the subiection of the judgment of military and political leaders to inquiry by law. The pattern of national life is exigent to international life when sovereignties are unified by common demand. The gold of democracy is still in the quartz.— Yours, etc.,
