Letter from London Eden’s Fallacies

Share this story

The White Paper just issued by the Foreign Office on the discussions between Sir Anthony Eden and Messrs. Bulganin and Khrushchev, endorses three dangerous fallacies: a) that “disarmament” is necessarily conducive to peace; b) that the “reduction of tension,” as it is officially and unofficially called, is an object to be pursued at all times, and that every discussion or conference leading to such a “reduction” is ipso facto successful; c) that conferences are a substitute for policy.
