Gas Warfare
Sir,—l want to add mv voice to those protesting against the use of phosphorus napalm, and other horrible bombs in Vietnam. Now is the time not only to express our horror at the use of such weapons but also to urge our Prime Minister and those representing us in the sphere of international affairs, to do
everything in their power to foster and encourage attempts at negotiation before this situation becomes even more intractable, and war more widespread and ghastly.Yours, etc. MURIEL MORRISON. March 28, 1965.
Sir, —Mr Holyoake says New Zealand stands behind the United States of America in its policy in South Vietnam. Are we behind (1) Bombing North Vietnam, a country America is not at war with? (2) In burning out a school with 1000 men in it with white phosphorus which burns to the bone? Do we condone this as an anti-per-sonnel weapon? (3) Non-lethal gases on civilians? (4) General Maxwell Taylor's statement about no limits to escalation calculated to include us? (5) A policy that is rejected by the American public (see cables last week)? What is so different about Eden’s bombing of Cairo and Johnson’s bombing of bases in North Vietnam? Could we ask Ex-President Eisenhower? —-•Ynin'C pin MARGARET THORN. March 28, 1965.
