THE INTERVENTION
Sir,-What has shocked the world is that the British Government was willing to kill Egyptians in order to get its own way, and this after years of condemning other countries for "aggression"! Surely the essence of aggression lies in this willingness to start killing the people of another country and to go on killing them until they give in. Of course, the guilty Government has offered various excuses for its action, but it has shifted its ground so often that none of them is tenable. If any good comes out of this shocking affair it will be that the Eastern peoples will feel that this time the United Nations has intervened to stop an attack by a Western great Power against a small Eastern Power. Nothing will do more for peace than the. existence of an impartial authority opposed to aggression, no matter by what nation it is committed,
