N.Z. economy
Sir,—Although National, with promises of "economic recovery” around the proverbial corner, pushed New Zealand close to economic ruin, Labour has little hope of doing much better. Endeavouring to stave off economic collapse, farmers are forced off their land, businesses pushed against the wall, and more and more workers made redundant. An economic miracle is surely needed. In the past, wars usually provided the solution, preventing collapse of the capitalists’ structure. However, all-out war may well result in mankind’s annihilation. For their own sake, East and West should come to grips and collectively ban nuclear weapons, outlaw racial hatred, religious fanaticism, exploitism and personal greed on a worldwide scale and commence developing the world’s resources for the good of all. Perhaps then, one day in the future, we may look back at these (barbaric) times and ponder why we wasted our God-given talent and skill inventing and manufacturing mass-murder weapons.—Yours, etc. J. P. STUART. June 16, 1986.
