National Council of Churches
Sir, —M. O’Neill may recall a statement in “The Press” some time back, reportedly by a teen-age daughter of a former Prime Minister of Rhodesia, apparently urging the bombing into, submission of those who opposed her group’s views. I believe by definition that this is terrorism. At the same time a “terrorist” is one who favours terror-inspiring methods of coercing a community which gathers in, it seems, quite a segment of the National Council of Churches. The claim by M. O’Neill that 20 per cent of the population owns over 80 per cent of the land, if it refers to Rhodesia, is incorrect, for Africans occupy exclusively the greater part of Rhodesia. It seems the dislike of a nom-de-plume by some of your correspond-' ents is offset by their enthusiasm for their names in print. l —Yours, etc., VULCAN. September 3,.1971. [This correspondence is now closed.—Ed., “The Press.”]
