We wonder whether the people of New Zealand, excepting those who subscribe to the "Friends of Rhodesia Associations," support their government's anti - African attitude on the Rhodesian situation.
It is our understanding that New Zealand respects the rule of law. Now that a virtual police state has been installed in Rhodesia, it is our conviction that the only weapon that can end armed illegality in the colony is equal and even greater military effort.
We disagree with New Zealand's submission in the Security Council that by wielding "de facto" power over the African population, the Smith regime, with all its illegality, should be allowed to bulldoze Her Majesty's Government with offers of readiness to negotiate.
