“N.A.T.O., aged 30”
Sir, — Your article, “N.A.T.0., aged 30, feels political strains,” (April 17) invites comment as it sharply reveals the disintegration of the whole western socioeconomic and military system. This alliance which does not have one reliable ally, and with Turkey about
to follow Iran, convulses and staggers through economic, financial, labour, oil and military crises in an endeavour to prolong the doomed monopolitistic, decadent and class-privilege order long overdue to give place to a superior form of government — socialism. The article assumes that the nations and humanity will eternally exist under the deepening threat of nuclear terror. Not so, for peoples and nations are outgrowing this primitive savagery and destructive, profligate militarism improverishing whole countries, and one may ask: who threatens peace? Peoples hate and fear this rampant nuclear philosophy with its Tridents, and when enough people decide to do
something about it. then we will have a peaceful prosperous world. — Yours, etc., W. J. COLLINS. April 17. 1979.
