The Rule Of Law In Space
Sir,—l expected a tirade of derision at President Johnson’s advocacy of a treaty to ban the use of outer space as a base for the prosecution of wars. Instead, I find that your editorial Of May 12 takes the president seriously. The concluding sentence “It will be a moving achievement if, as a prelude to the years of high adventure that are opening in space discovery, a treaty can be negotiated, in a spirit of sincerity, to ensure (
that no human life will ever be lost there at the hands of another human being” seems to be fatuous in view of the unrest manifest in all directions in the space we know. Human life is cheap in Asia, the Middle East, in Africa and America. There is plenty of insincerity evident in the relations between Governments and trade unions.— Yours, etc., W. B. BRAY. Leeston, May 14, 1966.
