World Peace Possible If Different Systems Cooperate
The Soviet New Times editorial argues lasting peace depends on recognizing different political and economic systems. It asserts cooperation does not require uniform social systems and cites past wartime cooperation between the Soviet Union and Anglo-Saxon powers. It condemns U.S. aid to Greece and Turkey and British and American interference in France and Italy, claiming such actions prolong civil war in Greece and burden Greek fighters for democratic rights.
