Subversive activities
Sir,—Why should I accept the •expertise of any of the visitors brought here by the N.Z. Nuclear Free Zone Committee? Are any of them answerable for the defence and security of New Zealand? Are any of them entrusted with public office in any place which might make them accountable for their statements? I do not think they are any more honest or trustworthy than Helen and Bill Caldicott, peace activists, of whom Merwyn Norrish,
Secretary of Foreign Affairs, wrote in 1984: "... the antinuclear activists stated actual falsehoods with such astonishing self-assurance that they were uncritically believed.” ("N.Z. International Review,” Sept/ October, 1984). Furthermore, since I have noted Larry Ross’s response to my letter, and I noted his earlier statement in response to Senator Richard Lugar, could Mr Ross please tell us by what authority he is able to convey to us the Intentions of the Soviet Union in the South Pacific?—Yours, etc., SUE HUNT. September 12, 1986.
