Sir,—l can assure Vernon Wilkinson (November 6) that I am not quibbling “whether Soviet thinking is 51 per cent and American 49 per cent global or vice versa.” Soviet thinking in its policies and deeds is 100 per cent global. United States thinking is 100 per cent egocentrically national. The Soviet Government has ceased nuclear testing since August 6 until January 1. 1986, extendable indefinitely it joined by the United States. No doubt pressure from average United States’ citizens is indispensable to put an end to nuclear madness. The cable brief on the “International” page (“The Press,” November 6), reports that “a petition signed by one million Americans calling for a super-Power nuclear test ban will be presented to President Reagan and the Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, in Geneva,” backing Soviet policy that is already operational, providing further proof, if it were needed, of the global orientation of Soviet thinking. — Yours, etc., M. CREEL. November 6, 1985.
