N.Z. VIEWS ON BOMB TESTS
“ Very Much What We Feel In India ” (New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, May 22. The Prime Minister (Mr Holland) has given encouragement to the High Commissioner for India (Mr P. A. Menon) with his reported views on the abolition or limitation of thermonuclear bomb tests. On his first official visit to Auckland Mr Menon said: “1 have been encouraged by that, because Mr Holland’s views are very much what we feel in India.” Mr Menon, whose headquarters is in Canberra, said that apart from any moral aspect of the bomb tests, there was the feeling among Asians, “Why have the bomb tests in the Pacific? Why not the Atlantic?” However, he said, he did not place any specific importance on that view himself. Nevertheless, it was there.. When the aomic bomb was dropped on Japan he question was even asked then by many Asians, “Why not on Germany?”
