Sir, - The five main parties are all exhorting us to say Yes to the Amsterdam Treaty, i.e. Yes to developing the arms industry, or the "field of armaments", as the Treaty coyly puts it. Who is going to buy these arms? Who is going to use them? Against whom? And at the same time we are exhorted to say Yes to the Belfast Agreement and decommissioning of arms. Isn't there a bit of Double Dutch going on? The only way finally to decommission arms is to get rid of the armaments industry. Vote No to Amsterdam. - Yours, etc., Margaretta D'Arcy, John Arden,
St Bridget's Place, Galway.
