Peace in the Family of Man by THE RT. Hon.
LESTER B. PEARSON , c.c., O.B.E., Ll.D.
2: Balance of Fear
In the 19th century relationships between nations were regulated by the ' balance of power ': now that has gone, and in its place we have two blocs. The main difference between these and the old system is in their rigidity: it is hard-as Czechoslovakia discovered-to opt out. Lester Pearson analyses the character of the two blocs, and discovers some small signs of developing understanding between them. How can it be fostered?
