Despite widespread political, economic and military disorder, there are signs that all is not lost and the most significant of these is a growing appreciation of the inter- dependence of nations in this day and age. International groupings for economic or military reasons, and sometimes both, arc not new especially in Europe; the EEC, NATO and Warsaw pact are fairly modern examples, as is ASEAN in our own region. In a Paper published in 1978, the Navy League of Australia suggested that for their own future well-being and security, countries sharing common interests should co-operate on a world-wide as well as a regional basis. This seed fell on barren Australian ground, but the idea was powerfully reinforced in 1979 by Britain's Admiral of the Fleet Lord Hill-Norton, who recommended a world-wide maritime alliance to counter growing Soviet seapower and a threat to the trade routes. At about t^e same time, influential figures in the United States expressed similar thoughts on the desirability of wider international co- operation than exists at the present time. While there are obvious political difficulties in achieving international economic and security co-operation on the scale proposed, at least in the short term, the concept is only commonsense. Over two-hundred years ago the American stateman and author, John Dickinson, wrote "by uniting we stand, by dividing we fall'. Dickinson was referring to America's struggle for independence, but the principle applies as much in 1980 as it did in 1768 and we would do well to remember the words. GEOFFREY EVANS BUYNI (Violent).
