International Co-operation Year
Sir,—A practical man has been described as one who practices the errors of his forefathers, and this contention is obvious in current politics. The continuing creation of problems at great expense of tax and menace, further confusing might with right, bears little relationship to welfare or progress. The
peoples of the world have a global stake in understanding, not armaments in squalor; and the greatest good to the greatest number in the economy of nations implies the greatest penalty to the few responsible for producing conflict instead of concord. If China had been admitted to the United Nations a decade ago it could have saved involvement and face-saving in areas outside peripheral position, and improved approach and quality of attitude, less conditioned by military adventure and more controlled by political compromise. The element of judgment required in every moral obligation is a dangerous thing to thwart in the conscience of mankind.— Yours, etc., WEST WIND. February 15, 1965.
