The Falklands
Sir,—The United States Secretary of State, Alexander Haig, should be praised for his unrelenting efforts to negotiate peace between Britain and Argentina' It seems that, in this deteriorating territorial clash, the United States, as honest broker, offers the only glimmer of hope left for a diplomatic settlement. With both sides holding firm, and unwilling to negotiate unless the other makes “unacceptable concessions” Mr Haig has got ri seemingly impossible mission ahead. By at least fnanaging to keep diplomatic channels open and exploring every possible avenue to find common ground, he is making some headway, if the two countries continue to be inflexible and a. peaceful solution cannot be found, the resulting battle will be tragic, not only to the Falkland Islanders. It is a very sad situation when a peace-keeping international body such as the United Nations cannot be more effective in defusing such crises. — Yours, etc.,
N. G. WARD. April 17, 1982.
