Anzac Day
Sir, — Approaching. Anzac Day prompted thoughts as
to the success of the World War I and II campaigns against the aggressive and exclusivist ideals of fascism. I do not wish to detract from the efforts of millions of brave men and women to put this idealism down so that democracy could live. The sad truth is, however, that fascism lives on in an extremely healthy state in the form of South Africa. The majority of whites there cling to the outmoded ideals that they are superior to their fellow countrymen. In the interests of continuing what our countrymen fought for, I am contributing money, on the occasion of Anzac Day, to the National Anti-Apartheid Committee. The people this /movement aims to help free'are worse off under continued fascism than are our own wounded and bereft. — Yours, etc., G. FIELD. April 21, 1980.
