"Death of a Princess”
Sir. — I note with interest the Prime Minister’s comment that the most important reason for declining the film “Death of a Princess” was the international criteria. These international criteria relate to the distresses and affronts felt by the Arab world and, as Mr Muldoon says, if we accept the film “we must, in today’s world, expect some kind of retaliation.” Will he apply these same international criteria to the distresses and affronts felt by non-white South Africans (and other African nations) at the prospect of a visit .to New Zealand by a white Springbok team in 1981? Will he speak as strongly against the tour as he has against “The Death of a Princess”? Will he as readilv accept that “we must in today s world, expect some kind of retaliation”? — Yours, ettf, . JAN PATTERSON. July 9, 1980.
