An injustice done to the PPP

Mar 02, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
A Reuters report quoted newly-appointed US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel as saying that the United States cannot dictate to the world, but rather should engage the world.
This is indeed an enlightened position since the United States has historically considered itself as the world’s policeman and has been intervening in the domestic affairs of several countries – including Guyana in the 1960s, when it pressured Britain to withhold independence out of fear that a “communist regime” could be established in what it once considered as a US sphere of interest.
The United States, through its one-time Presidential Advisor Arthur Schlesinger, later apologised to Dr. Jagan for a grave injustice done to him and to the people of Guyana, not only by denying the country independence status much earlier as agreed by Britain, but by aiding and abetting a process that led to the removal of the PPP from office in the 1964 elections – and this despite a pledge given by Dr. Jagan during a meeting with President Kennedy at the White House in 1961 that he would not allow Guyana to be a Soviet base.
