Sir,—lt is a pity that lighted candles were not floated upon the River Avon in memory of the thousands of prisoners of war and civilian internees who died during the last war as the result of Japanese brutality — Yours, etc., G. J. FERNANDEZ. August 10, 1982.
Sir,—l join your correspondent. N. G. Ward (August 10), in recalling , the dropping of the first atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki 37 years ago, when ! thousands died in agony and some lived on to suffer the long effects. Japan is not alone in her remembering and one regrets that on that anniversary America tested a seven-times more. powerful nuclear bomb for more terrible warfare. The good news is that 300 women recently walked from Sweden to Russia and through that country in their “no more war” cause, and in spirit millions walked with them. It’s not nuclear weapons we need, but people strong in spirit to declare themselves for the way of “peace on earth.. Good will toward men.”— Yours, etc., N. BECK,. August 10, 1982.
