PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, APRIL 30, 1982
PAGE 7
Your magazine helped me realize the greatness of God's love. The
booklet, SEVEN LAWS OF SUCCESS, redirected my life by helping me
evaluate my goals. Now I can talk to God freely in prayer and I
feel that He is listening. I wish to understand Him better so I
decided to enroll in the Bible Correspondence Course.

KLAR & WAHR doesn't only give me better understanding of compli­
cated and incomprehensible world politics, but also contains
interesting and valuable articles which bring my general knowl­
edge up to a much higher standard for a young person still study­
ing. Through your excellent way of writing, my somewhat poor
relationship with God has improved and will continue to do so!
A.B. (Sistrans, Austria)
I have now received your magazine for over two years and have
definitely benefited from your informative articles. Even though
your magazine is clearly Christian oriented and I am a Muslim, I
have found most of your articles very topical, thought-provoking
and definitely food for thought. Your articles keep one up to
date with what is happening in and around our homes--things which
many of us take for granted or are not even aware of. Keep up the
good work. I look forward to receiving your future issues.
ON THE WORLD SCENE

WILL A HUMILIATED ARGENTINA GO NUCLEAR? With Britain's declaration of a
complete air and sea blockade around the besieged Falkland Islands, a mil­
itary confrontation between the British task force and Argentina appears
inevitable.
British odds, initially thought quite poor, have improved, especially in
view of the relatively easy victory in South Georgia. Argentine forces
there fought, if that is the correct word, unenthusiastically.
Will
defenders of the Malvinas fight any better? Will they be willing to die for
islands that are proclaimed in Argentine propaganda to be the "most
beloved" soil of the homeland? Reports smuggled out of the Falklands say
that the Argentine forces, many of whom are young, green conscripts, are
hungry, ill-provisioned and lack sufficient protection against the wintry
conditions in the Falklands. Morale can't be too high, seeing that the
Argentines were not welcomed by the local population as "liberators," as
many no doubt thought they would be.
We'll soon find out how battle-ready is this "Italian army of the West."
But suppose for the moment that Argentina is humiliated on its "most
beloved" soil. This could be dangerous for the world, in that a frustrated,
ambitious military state might decide, earlier than anticipated, to "go
nuclear." Notice this article from the TIMES of London, April 17, 1982
entitled, "Junta Near A-Bomb Breakthrough":
Allegations that the Argentine junta is about to provide the
country with a nuclear weapons option will be made in a BBC2
television programme on Monday. It says the Argentines should
