Non-aggression pacts
Sir. - Larry Ross. Keith Burgess and others are deluding themselves. In August. 1928. 15 nations signed the Kellog Peace Pact calling for peaceful settlement of international disputes. By 1934 all countries in the world (except El Salvador, Argentina. Bolivia and Uruguay) had signed the pact. Subsequently. Italy attacked Ethiopia, Albania and Greece; Germany attacked Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Greece ‘ and Russia; Japan attacked China, the United States, Britain and Holland (though their colonies); and Russia attacked Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Esthonia, Finland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Afghanistan, in the latter case obtaining the “liquidation" of two. Communist presidents to get a subservient man as a figurehead for imperialist expansion leading into Baluchistan and the Indian Ocean. Anyone who thinks another pact without military strength to enforce it would make us more secure needs to think again. - Yours, etc.,
H. F. NEWMAN. Blenheim. February 17, 1983.
