SIR CARL BERENDSEN’ ADDRESS
Sir,—Your report of Sir Carl Berendsen’s address to the Wellington branch of the Royal Empire Society makes sad reading. From New Zealand’s former Ambassador to the United States and recent representative at the United Nations, one might expect constructive and enlightened criticism. It is hard to believe that such statements as appear in your paper could come, from a man with the interests of humanity at heart. He finds it convenient to brand communism as evil; yet it is the injustices of the system he would maintain that gives communism the power he fears. The world is in a state of revolution against social and economic injustice, the outcome of which, if the common man is not to be denied, will be an order closer to communism than to the prevailing American ideology.—Yours, etc., e L. R. ROLSTON. September 19, 1953.
