Kampuchea
Sir, — Although it could be a wonderful coincidence that Afghanistan is now a Soviet satellite, not all will agree with M. Creel that talk of Russian "aggression” against Afghanistan is “ex-
cessively far-fetched.” He can hardly deny that the Second World War began with a joint attack on Poland by Russia and Nazi Germany. Commonwealth soldiers died to defend the right to independence of small countries such as Poland. They were betrayed at the Yalta conference by President Roosevelt, who, over Churchill’s protests, handed Poland over to one of her attackers, Russia. If M. Creel is worried about
“Chinese hegemony in South-East Asia,” he should see advantages in inter-
national action to restore Kampuchean independence. China will act, even if we do not. but international action would provide much better hope that aggressive countries, such as Russia and her Vietnamese ally, will think twice before picking off further countries. — Yours, etc., MARK D SADLER. January 23, 1979.
