‘Lower the Ante in the Gulf ‘
I do agree with your editorial (May 27), “On Showing the Flag,” that tangible help in the Persian Gulf is mandatory to the United States. Kuwaiti oil tankers should show the flag of the country of cargo destination, i.e. Japan and the Western European nations.
These allies in return could ask and pay for U.S. naval protection, especially if they are unable to provide it themselves. We would not sail alone.
