Race And Sport
Sir, —Mr R. H. Thompson has asked the New Zealand Rugby Union some questions and will no doubt ask many more before 1970. Could I, through your columns, ask Mt Thompson a question raised by the interview published in “The Press" a few months ago? Does Mr Thompson still have, at the present time, the same opinion on this subject that he had before commencing his lonely ten-year research?—Yours, etc, A.J.S. September 8, 1968.
[Mr R. H. Thompson replies: “I continue to be opposed to race discrimination in sport, and am more than ever convinced that we in this country have mishandled the issue, and continue to mishandle it These views 1 hold in common with many other people, both here and abroad.”]
