 Bertrand Russell Quotes 366 |

I am not sure whether the attitude of both Britain and America toward Iranian oil and Malayan rubber is free from a similar taint.. It is the existence of predatory impulses on one side that justifies fear on the other, and unless predatory impulses can be restrained, even the most desirable forms of interna- tional cooperation will remain impossible.
