Sir, — It is a great pity that the news media in this country deem the inanities of the Carter-Ford debate on United States television more newsworthy than the important statement made by Leonid Brezhnev to French television on October 5. This statement has been distributed to all newspapers in New Zealand by the Soviet Information Office in Wellington and effectively refutes Graham Rhind’s libel of “ageing despots in the Kremlin.” It is not sufficient for Graham Rhind merely to utter his wild assertions about Soviet policy, which have no more substance than a subjective origin in his private fantasies. Such is his charge that, “even Soviet diplomats regard these (their embassy’s) handouts as eyewash.” I challenge him to prove that. — Yours, etc., M. CREEL. October 13, 1976.
