Sir.—Thankfully not everyone will succumb so easily, as Graham Rhind appears to have done, to the hysterical reaction which the Chinese Foreign Minister and “scores of Western defence experts” hope to inspire in the peop'es of the Western world for
theit own nefariously sinister ends. As is his wont. Graham Rhind neither offers, nor can offer, the slightest jot or tittle of evidence to substantiate his fantasy for an “allout offensive for which the Soviet Union has been preparing for a decade.” If war is as inevitable, and the situation as hopeless as Graham Rhind proclaims, then our time is not running out, it has, already, run out. For.tunately, there is no cause for despair. Soviet policy, firmly based on peaceful coexistence and detente, for halting the arms and the negotiation of multilateral international agreements on disarmament, presents a formidable obstacle to Chinese and Western defence experts’ plans for “inevitable war.” — Yours, etc., M. CREEL. October 9, 1976.
