Fishing Limits
Sir, —If “L.G.W.’s” pathological fear of the Russians would allow him to consider anything reasonably, he could ponder the following to his advantage. A 12,000-mile fishing limit would be unique and as ridiculous as the rest of his views. American “defence" of New Zealand was simply the fortuitous circumstances for New Zealand in that America prefered to fight the Japanese on the high Pacific rather than on the Pacific coast of the United States. If “L.G.W.” was a poor Tennessee Negro,
a Chicago gangster victim, a South Korean war amputee, or a napalm-disfigured Vietnamese child, he would not be so “starry-eyed” about the “land of liberty.”—Yours, etc, AWAKE. April 12, 1967. [This correspondence is now closed. Ed, “The Press.”]
