Aid For Poor Nations
Sir, —In spite of frequent warnings to prosperous countries of the risk to world peace of denying aid—without strings—to the underdeveloped countries, Monday’s issue reported Dr Kaunda as saying there is still no sign
of the rich nations’ willingness to co-operate. He added that the little money the former bring into Zambia, for example, is, at best, but “bait on the fish-hook.” This added to Mr F. R. Muller’s recent quotation from a letter seconding your editorial, that most nations are carrying out subsidised wanton destruction of food for monetary gain makes terrible reading. What will it take to move us? An atomic bomb? Today U Thant at last takes up, the cudgels, warning the rich that failing to help is “an invitation to violence,” the poor being increasingly aware of the separating gap, may his influence have the desired effect —Your*, ®tec„ D.T. July 10, 1968.
