CYPRUS
Sir.—Week after week, we are regaled with the tirades of your correspondent, Ralph S. Wheeler, against the sayings and doings ©f eminent statesmen and politicians and the policies of their governments. Now, in his opinion, the new proposals for Cyprus are just “stupid hallucinations.” It is not at all impressive and of little or no value to the community for Mr Wheeler to pontificate from the Olympian heights of Timaru uttering wild unsupported statements as if he were the oracle of Delphi, pronouncing judgments on complex international affairs. I would strongly suggest to him. as would many others, that if he has such a wide knowledge of the problems besetting Cyprus and the many “troubled” areas of the world, he would give us some constructive solutions, instead of dismissing them with destructive epithets and time-worn cliches about “exploitation” and “fortunes for foreign shareholders.” — Yours, etc., NORMAN L. SAMSON. December 27, 1956.
