SITTING DOWN IN MOSCOW
SIR,—Mr. Peter Cadogan of the Committee of 100 asks me to honour `my engagement' to pay the fares of his friends to Moscow who are prepared to warm the stones of the Red Square by their impassioned hindquarters. Splendid—even if Mr. Cadogan has got it wrong and very late. My offer last autumn was to collect money for unilateralists who were prepared to repeat their Trafalgar Square tactics on the occasion of the Soviet November parade of peace-loving rockets. Alas! Only one Spectator reader sent me £1, which is just as well, as the Committee of 100, from Mr. Cadogan right down to Load Russell, showed no interest.
Despite this grievous disappointment I am always ready to try again. If Mr. Cadogan could give me an assurance that he and his friends not only mean to sit in Moscow this time but are pre- pared not to return, I am sure .that the generosity of your readers will be boundless.
DESMOND DONNELLY Chairman, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (USSR)
