DEEP FREEZE
SIR,—It is indeed comforting to read at last a paper which does not descend to the appalling depths of the 'peace in our time' hysteria that has streamed forth from the daily press since the Geneva conference. Why they should imagine that the long-term aims and practices of Communism should change overnight, it is difficult to understand. They seem to be falling headlong into the follies of Chamberlain and appeasement. But surely the free world, if that phrase means anything, is not going to stand by for ever, watching Eastern Europe crushed into irretrievable submission. We can only hope that among our party-loyal, vote- casting machines in Parliament there is at least one man who, like Churchill in the Thirties, can bring Cato's 'delenda est Carthago' up to date.—Yours faithfully,
