China And U.N.
Sir, —A successful explosion of an H-bomb during a counter-revolution qualifies people to sit in the United Nations Assembly. They also qualify because refusal might provoke them to use their Hbomb. Such would appear to be Varian J. Wilson’s views from where he sits assessing New Zealand’s “pitiful show” by a “minor official,” our motive of “fear,” and “the contempt of the rest of the world.” It is understandable that Elsie Locke should take the feminine view that what is fair for de Gaulle is fair for Mao Tse-tung. But Mr Wilson’s view, that New Zealand should respect China because tomorrow it will be more powerful than the United States, is strange indeed.—Yours, etc., A. B. CEDARIAN. November 28, 1967.
