Peace Versus War

Peace Versus War

Sir, I agree with Mr. Sullivan’s humane principles concerning the world's peace, but since they play no part in the Foreign Office of any country, U.N.O. and the Security Council included, we shall speak only in economic realities. This urge in Asia is quite simple. It is the land hungry peasant on the march against the feudal landlordism. This same urge took place in England long ago. This is inevitable in human progress. The American-sponsor-ed-night-club-playboy-president Sygmund Rhee, at whose barbaric, feudal, ferocity the British troops rebelled, is a good example why the common people are on the march. And when the history is written, it will be a very proud moment for N.Z. to know that its sons have been sent right across the world to uphold this band of cutthroats. II Russia and Wall Street, have gone mad, why should we be interested in their quarrel? The only remedy against communism is to make democracy work. Let Mr. Sullivan put his shoulder to the wheel in that direction. At present, he is only reiterating the slogans of the Wall Street Moguls, who are very anxious to give everyone a vote except their own 30 million coloured folk, who And any war, or preparation for war, a very profitable solution to their unemployment problem, rather than to introduce a modern distributive mechanism so that their own people can consume the goods they produce, a factor which would not force them to fight for foreign markets, the policy which gave us the two world wars. I am etc. EASIER THAN WAR.
