Commonwealth
Sir,—L. Westney (October 19) says that the United States and the U.S.S.R. will fight to dominate the world. First, must either dominate? Second. Owen Wilkes, after years of studying the war-making capacity of nations, tells us only the United States is preparing for it. The U.S.S.R. has promised not to start a nuclear war. All
countries are going to realise that gross accumulation of capital by the few is unjust and that some degree of socialism is inevitable. White South Africa will not be “the last bastion of defence for the Western world”; quite soon it will become a non-aligned black democracy. I hope it will then rejoin the Commonwealth which, despite L. Westney’s opinion, is not a communist front but a community of nations helping and enjoying each other, in voluntary union rather than separated according to political alignment. It sets a beautiful and honourable example to the world.—Yours, etc;. SUSAN TAYLOR. October 21, 1982.
