THE LAST TRUMP

SIR,—We have, solemnly, declared that we will never be the first to use the atomic weapon. Surely it is a great and unwarranted assumption on Mr. Wettern's part that after the first attack there will be anyone who will take the slightest interest in 'balanced fleets' —oil possessions—or any other commodities once used by the Human Race.—Yours faithfully, The Old Stables, Hillands, Dedham R.
