The Pope’s Appeal
Sir, —Elsie Locke confuses two distinct issues: peace and international stalemate. The Pope’s message to the United Nations was concerned with a true and lasting peace, which can never be attained with the present arms race. The Vatican Council is discussing* a different issue: in the absence of the disarmament necessary for true peace, is a nation justified in maintaining this “equilibrium of power,” an international stalemate to prevent a giant eruption? But no thinking person could equate this deplorable stalemate with the peace
for which the Pope pleaded They are separate and dis tinct concepts.—Yours, etc., D. A. KERR. October 11, 1965.
