Security Service
Sir,—I invite “Mr G.” to
think what would happen to New Zealand without the ■ Security Intelligence Service ■which "he detests so much ■ Let him consider the insidious element at home: given jfiee reign to proliferate its crooked ideas, is could happen that within a very short ■ time, the whole country could become misguidedly converted to Communism or ■ towards a hatred for South Africa. “Mr G.” should think about the potential influx of I foreign subversives that the S.I.S. keeps under control. ■ National secrets, thanks to ! their vigilance, will remain secret. New Zealand is not a strong police State. It needs a security force to discover and to subdue those elements ithat strive to make the country unfree. And we can only
hope that the C.I.A. will continue to be called upon for its much-needed assistance.— Yours, etc., ROBERT BERMAN. February 20, 1975.
