Peace works: letter
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.May we add to Neal Ascherson's "Castle in the air" (Review, 30 June) on Moral Re-Armament? After the war Frank Buchman believed that Germany and Japan could change. He enlisted many like us who had fought to build the peace and turn enemies into friends. Two of the undersigned were present when Prime Minister Kishi of Japan attended a Moral Re- Armament conference at Caux. The Washington Evening Star in 1957 wrote: "President Kishi has completed one of the most unusual missions ever undertaken by a statesman of his rank. In three weeks he has visited nine nations that Japan occupied or threatened. In each he publicly apologised for his country's actions during the war."
To win the peace everyone's positive contribution counts and should be valued, not belittled.
