Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 29, No. 10. 1966.

[introduction]

Salient Can Now Reveal that a journalist, Kevin Sinclair, is a member of the staff of "New Zealand Truth."

The Staff of the socalled "New Zealand" Truth also includes several self-confessed Englishmen.

I Attempted to interview the editor of "Truth"—but as soon as I dialled the number I got the "engaged" signal.

The questions I wanted to ask the editor were contained in a letter I forgot to post. These are the questions that he wouldn't listen to:

  • • Is Sinclair, a card-carrying member of the journalists' union, on the staff?
  • • Are there Englishmen on the staff?
  • • Does Lux toilet soap clean your skin deep down?

But it appears these questions will not be answered.

One person I was unable to track down for comment was the Duke of Edinburgh.

In the past, efforts have been made to eliminate criticism by removing journalists from the staff. But a cursory glance at "Truth" reveals the name of Sinclair and several other practising journalists.
