Tibet
Sir, —This is the pattern of ■ “progress" in Communist countries. First, land is taken from ■ its owner without compensation.
All who resist are shot or gaoled. The people are organised into communes regardless of human freedom. Spiea are scattered throughout factories and communes to detect discontent and resistence. Injustice, murder, imprisonment, slavery and tryanny are the price of progress—efficient, effective, productive, but blatantly Immoral and unjustifiable. Such measures, surpassing any deplorable excesses of the British in Africa or elswhere, appear to be in operation in Tibet. New roads and factories are being built, and the people, though resisting, appear to be marshalled into communes. Now it seems that the Chinese wish to exterminate the Tibetans if they will not submit. Such a choice—slavery or massacre for an oppressed nation!— Yours, etc., AM. May 8, 1959.
