The Problem Of Peace
Sir, —Elderly politicians such as Dulles, Menzies, Nash, speaking, as at Manila, in terms of defence and peace, but obviously thinking —because of age—in terms of war and death, make in Germany, England, America, the Alfried Krupps—the successful businessmen, the warmongers, the war criminals. Armament-making is not confined to Germany; the Soviet Union, Britain, France, America, also have successful armament manufacturers—all dependent upon the death-wish of aged politicians. Restrict international delegations to men under 35 years and debar “defence” (war) spokesmen from re-entry, as war criminals, to their own countries; and international peace would quickly be answered, or at least traitors to human life be isolated. Peoples fought against slavery, serfdom, fuedalism, io come forward to a greater freedom in capitalism; surely, without fear of bloodshed, war, revolution, people of today should, politically, be enabled to advocate an alternative, if not an advance, to our existing social and economic system.—Yours, etc., A. B. GRANT. March 13,. 1958.
