Arrival of Marines

Sir,—lt has been interesting to note letters on the intentions dr the Japanese inva-

sion forces during World War 11. Whatever point of view one wishes to adopt for this period, it is clear that we face a far greater threat today, with the inexorable march of the Japanese economic force. Everything, it seems, is for sale in New Zealand these days. We seem to possess scant regard as to who the purchaser is and less still for how our natural heritage is to be treated. The Japanese have a bad environmental record worldwide, whereas at home there are stringent laws to protect the environment. Yet we welcome all with open arms, caring only for a quick profit and with nary a trace of moral conscience. Japan, the environmental predator, is alive and well in the South Pacific. Let us open our eyes to the threat that has returned.— Yours, etc., P. J. BARRETT, C. M. McEVEDY. July 19, 1989.
