Student body not attacked
Student body not attacked
A letter from a Member of Parliament:
Sir,
What was said by Opposition speakers following me in the debate yesterday (4 Sept.) was so grossly unfair and misleading that I hasten to assure you I have not attacked or denigrated the Student Body in New Zealand.
On the contrary, I think an inspection of Hansards will indicate (without being starry-eyed or unrealistic about our frailties), a warm support for young people.
In case there should be any further misleading reports from the debate I enclose copy of my Hansard.
Best wishes to Salient.
H. L. Pickering.
