Nuclear stance
Sir,—lt is very strange that you and the National Party should want ship-borne nuclear weapons so badly. The fostering of nuclear arms is morally indefensible because possession implies intention to use and use could initiate a world holocaust. Nuclear-free New Zealand legislation should be passed because it states our position very clearly. It is reasonable for New Zealand to require a firm commitment from the United States that no nuclear arms are carried on its aircraft through Harewood. We should adhere strongly to the nuclear-free policy, in view of the recent political changes in the United States (with the likelihood of the advent of a more friendly and less militaristic Administration soon). The moves towards arms control between the United States and the Soviet Union are added reason for maintaining our stand. — Yours, etc., COLIN BURROWS. > April 16, 1987. J
