The Problem Of Peace
Sir, —I wrote neither for appeasement nor for pacifism, because I don't believe either would work. I have been pleading for understanding.; Things we 'do merely for detente may look, to countries on the other side, as though we were preparing for aggression. Similarly, things they do for better defence may look to us like some wtcWd plan to attack us. Why not seek understanding and friendship? Whatever the leaders think, no people of any nation want war, which can only be a real national disaster. In the tranches a sign was once erected: “We are fools and you are fools. Let's go home.”—Yours, etc., F.T.M. March 20, 1958.
