EAST AND WEST
Sir,-I agree with Mr. Peter Mann that one should reconcile East and West Without war, and not allow emotions to influence judgments. But such a reconciliation is going to be difficult if the crimes of the Russian rulers continue. I did not mention earlier the breaches of treaties in regard to administration of ex-enemy countries, the enslavement of whole populations who want no part
of the Communist way of life, and the persecution of religion. Such crimes endanger the fabric of peace and are a threat to other Western nations. We could put up with the differences in philosophy but for the constant pressure of aggression. The Kremlin might be forgiven for dissembling its love for fellow man, but why does it always kick him downstairs?
