RELATIONS WITH U.S.

Sir,— Seeing “Red Duster” is interested in naval matters, I would ask him how the United States -could conduct a Pacific war without joining issue with the Japanese Navy first. It was a matter of naval prestige and expediency. “Leander” finds it difficult to distinguish between the defence policy of a far-flung empire, with dispered resources, and a closejyknit economic unit. Perhaps from this basis he can see the dangers inherent in certain aggressive attitudes on the western front of the Security Council. I would remind “Aptery” that Cor, regidor need not have occurred if the United States had helped the Commonwealth in the initial stages of the conflict. The whole concept of security in this hydrogen age has been changed. Avoidance of conflict is merely a pre-condition of civilised life, which emphasises the economic rather than the military weapon and those qualities of manhood necessary to implement its creative opportunities.—Yours, etc., MAIN SEQUENCE. July 6. 1954.

Sir,—“Red Duster,’* “Leander,” and “Aptery” seem to have forgotten that for two years America sat on the wall bleeding England with her cash and carry, involving ships to carry the goods and ships to convoy them until Pearl Harbour woke America up. Had America backed England when she went to help those attacked in Europe by the Germans, the other disasters that occurred in Singapore and Burma might never have had such disastrous consequences. After the fall of France, Sir Winston Churchill said: “We stand alone.” The battle of Britain was commencing and Malta followed. When one thinks of the size of Britain and what she did and is still doing,. it makes one know that she will win out and learn to live in peace with nations whose way of life is different and that there is a place for all.— Yours, etc., E.M.N. July 6, 1954.
