Mr John A. Lee
Sir,—ln most of his publications' since 1941 Mr J. A. Lee ("The Press,” June 18) has condemned some of his early political colleagues for being the cause of his expulsion from the Labour Party. Seemingly he did not realise or did pot care that by placing himself in this situation he bitterly disappointed many thousands of Labour supporters who looked on him ; as .a kind of a Messiah who would help, in those troubled times. Maybe he was not aware of Mr Savage’s illness but'he. did know- Mr Savage was a v.ery sick man so he (Mr Lee) only had to wait and his ambitions would be realised. But not J.. A. Lee. In his adulation of Mr. Muldoon he certainly has strayed from his socialist and democratic principles of which he is so proud, as the National Government and Mr Muldoon have done
more to downgrade socialist legislation and social services than any other.—Yours, etc.. H. O. OLSEN. June 19, 1981.
