Mr Khrushchev’s Visit
Sir, — I agree with the sentiments expressed by “Foreign Policy." My reason? I have no desire to dissolve in H-bomb dust Not while we receive universal superannuation, anyway. Cardinals should remember that we elderly schoolboys still remember what our teachers told us. We were told that a few centuries ago it was moral to burn people alive, crush and dislocate their bones because their "ideas” on arithmetic j differed from prelates who posed ias spiritual and moral guides. Teachers told us how men were burnt at the stake for “being rude to the equator” and scientists were imprisoned and destroyed for searching too closely into the secrets of nature. So the cardinals were wrong then as they are wrong today. Let Mr Khrushchev go to the United States, by all means. May Mr Eisenhower return the compliment by visiting the Soviets.- 4 ' Yours, etc., RALPH S WHEELER Timaru, August 13, 1959.
