Bring Back .... — John Birch

Bring Back ....

John Birch

Sir,—Just which side is Salient on in the cold war [unclear: anyway] Earlier in the year you treated [unclear: to] a bitter attack on Thailand now in the last issue of your [unclear: ra] we find a collection of half truths, twisted facts and down-right fallacies about the government of South Vietnam. Is it just a coincidence that both states are staunchly anti-communist?

Conceivably life in the happy Peoples' Republics to the [unclear: north] isn't all Mrs. Freda Cook makes it out to be. How [unclear: about] an exposure on North [unclear: Vietnam] just to even things up. Better hurry, if your writer "G.Q's' hopes are fulfilled and Diem [unclear: goes] New Zealand should be enjoying the benefits of the Communist system at first hand in another decade or so.

C. H. Moore.

[Whose side of the cold war are Time and the New York Times on? Their recent articles on South Vietnam make a number of the same points as Salient's correspondent. Mr. Moore, in true John Birch tradition, fails to realise that we have every right to criticize the countries we support. This does not mean we are Communists. Salient will be very willing to print an "exposure" of North Vietnam, Perhaps Mr. Moore will write it for us.—Ed.]
