RECOGNITION OF CHINA
Sir-The letter from ‘"Lubber’s Point" gives one the impression he has been in solitary confinement for some years, where new books, if any, -were. chosen for him all of a pattern. The points he brings up about cruelty and Korea are both debatable; there is a solid body of opinion on both sides and a big middle group that does not know what to believe, for the evidence seems so conflicting. But at least we know it was the Americans and South Koreans who poured napalm on women ard children in villages. Who is most likely to give the plain unadulterated factspoliticians who represent group interests, or educated men like.Rewi Alley, Professor Airey or Dean Chandler? Does "Lubber’s Point" think UN was formed only for nations with similar political systems? Was it not formed to prevent war, to bring nations of all political opinions together to negotiate and settle their differences? I do not agree with Margot Ross on many points, but we all need more of her Christian tolerance and fewer incentives to hate, which is one cause of war.
