Nuclear Arms
Sir,—Russia’s sudden interest in a nuclear disarmament pact is probably due to fear, not of America but of her former partner in crime, China which is more advanced in the nuclear field than the world is led to believe. Records show that pacts and treaties signed by the Russians have proved worthless, and Britain, United States, France, Czechoslovakia and
Hungary, not to mention Germany, have proved this fact The Atlantic Charter, for example, signed by Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin in August, 1941, was the result of Hitler's bombshell earlier that year and so this pact of convenience came into being on the following lines: “That we respect the rights of all peoples to select the form of Government under which they choose to live and to restore the democratic liberties of the victims of war,” etc. The United Nations has also offended in this respect—Yours, etc., L.G.W. July 5,1968.
