East European regimes
Sir, — The comment which B. Chamberlain actually invites, not only from “the local Moscow-leaning comrades” but from anyone endowed with the ordinary average of intelligence, on his extraordinary views of the incident in which a United States helicopter pilot illegally violated Czechoslovakia’s territory to spirit Czech citizens, illegally from that country and not surprisingly was fired on, would be that he appears to have little or no appreciation of the seriousness with which any State regards the violation of its frontiers by foreign nationals. B. Chamberlain would appear, not only to condone, but to approve this criminally irresponsible act of piratical brigandage by a United States citizen. How a country following accepted international practice in dealing with the violation of its territorial integrity can be deemed a "totalitarian society” is a conclusion which could be arrived at, only by the total abandonment of all logic and reason. — Yours, etc., M.C.H.
August 26, 1975.
