THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE Thursday, August 17th, 1961 Notes and Pathological Fashions = From time to time we witness strange outbreaks of pathological behaviour which seem to set a fashion, Some few years "ago there was an outbreak of bombing threats. The first of these appeared in New York and were directed against theatres. So much publicity was given to this new phenomenon that it seemed to catch the imagination of the more un- stable persons in the community. - There- after bomb scares occurred in most large centres throughout the United States and Canada. They still come but not as fre- quently as they used to. Then we had a few cases of bombs being planted on planes. Some of these resulted in air dis- asters that claimed the lives of all those on board the ill-fated planes. we The latest outbreak of a pathological j nature seems to be the high-jacking of large passenger planes in flight. What purpose such abnormal behaviour can serve apart from attracting 'public atten- . Co - Existence There is a good deal of misunderstand- ing concerning the much used term co-ex- istence. Here in the West we take for granted that it simply means that two mutually opposed and warring systems have agreed to accept each other's right to exist and that each is prepared to al- sm bj od 'job. ' low the other to develop in its own way. This is not the Soviet's idea at all. For them it is, as clearly set forth in Pravda, nothing more or less than a special and a higher form of class struggle between ----two.opposing- systems, -socialism-and-capi= talism. Soviet socialism is irreconcilable with any other form of political life. Nor can it live at peace. It envisages all exist- ence as a struggle and co-oxistence simply represents a special form of the intensifi- cation of the struggle for the triumph of its principles and methods. It recognizes no such thing as neutrality. It accepts « the idea that the struggle must end in the destruction of one side or the other. In this struggle it is prepared to. make _ "use of" everything 'short of a major war. Why not a major war? -Because as the COMMUNIST states, "modern nuclear war of itself could in no way be a factor which would hasten" revolution or bring nearer the victory of Soviet socialism". They do not rule out nuclear war on humanitar- ian grounds as we of the West do. They rule it out because it is useless, even harm- ful, to their objectives. They do not, however, rule out other forms of war. On the contrary, revolutionary wars they con- sider just and lawful. They will do every- thing in their power to aid and abet such "is not really war. "role. Comments tion na one knows.. One such incident has been Followed by others in rapid suc- cession. Finally, the government of the United States has decided that this kind .of dangerous nonsense must be ended. Therefore, new legislation has been passed which makes such an action criminal and the death sentence for committing it madatary, It is probable that the recent rash of high-jackings has run its course. Certain- ly with the government taking such defin- ite action a potential high-jacker will have some second thoughts before he pulls the We can sit back in our Kennedy rockers in the comfortable assurance that from now on high-jacking will be some- thing. for the stuff of which television shorties are made. But the hysteria while it lasted was both sensational and dangerous. Pathological fashions usually are. The Soviet is committed to the univer- sal overthrow of capitalism. The West, whatever the Kremlin may believe, is not now committed to the overthrow of the Soviet regime. It may have been at one time and there may still be fanatics in high places who. would like this to be our. objective. What we do object to is the forcible spreading of the communist way of life to Western countries and the un- committed nations. Therefore, we are committed to a cold "war of indefinite duration. But cold war It is a struggle in which we are forced to play a defensive If we play this defensive role in- telligently there is no reason why condi- tions for the average person in the West should not continue to improve as they' have over the past fifteen years. But playing the role intelligently does not mean getting into a panic about the possibility of a nuclear war. Certainly, --the-Soviet will -not-precipiate such a war and surely our humanitarianism is deep enough and strong enough to keep us from doing anything so madly inhuman as to "start it ourselves. Three great tasks confront us. [irst, we must make our own system work; we must help the uncommitted and underde- v veloped nations; and we must do every- . thing we can to prevent the spread of com- munism by forcible means and intimida- tion. But for the sake of our own sanity and the future of humanity let us stop think- ing in terms of a nuclear war.
