from Dave Windsor In an article especially written for the latest issue of "Punch" entitled "The Red Threat", Barry Goldwater has this to say about Bertrand Russell and the peace movement in the United States: "And although very few American papers ever raise the point, more than a few responsible persons on this side have become sick and tired of Bertrand Russell and his pandering to an enemy now engaged in killing fighting men. "And I might add that our homegrown apologists for aggressive Communism are no more popular with the majority of Americans than is Mr. Russell, The editor of "Punch" in my correspondence with him concerning this article snoke of an "upsurge of pacificism" in the United States. The European press generally has overplayed and exaggerated the anti-Vietnam-war sentiment for many months. Some of the stories I have read would lead the casual unsuspecting reader to conclude that the American people were up in arms and about to impeach President Johnson." He goes on to attack Fulbright, Morse, "peaceniks" and teach-ins, It is good to be attacked by Barry Goldwater because it puts one in good company, moreover, the fact that he had to make these points reflects the growing impact of the idea of the War Crimes Tribunal on American opinion,
