RECOGNISING CHINA
“Holyoake Not Speaking For N.Z.” (Special Crspdt N.Z.P.A.) LONDON, March 21. The New Zealand Prime Minister (Mr Holyoake) was “entitled to tell the people of Great Britain on television or by other media that his Government was opposed to China being admitted to the United Nations but he creates a false picture in claiming that he speaks for New Zealand on this issue,” said Arthur O’Halloran. writing from Auckland to the editor of the “Guardian.” Mr O’Halloran’s letter says: "A great many people from end to end of the Dominion are most emphatically of the opinion the New Zealand Government should long ago have recognised the de facto Government of China and that New Zealand’s vote at the United Nations should have been cast in favour of admitting China to the world assembly at New York.
“Further, all informed New Zealanders are aware that the fear of offending the American Government has been the principal factor in bringing about a state of affairs which is absurd and dangerous,” Mr O'Halloran says.
