Unclear smear
Unclear smear
Sir,
I wish to object strongly to yet another one of your anonymous, opinionated "news" stories.
The article in the last Salient (31st May) headed "Trots Walkout" gave the impression that "Socialist Action League members and supporters" alone walked out of the Committee on Vietnam meeting last week In fact members of the Socialist Action League constituted less than half of those who walked out. Most of the others had nothing whatsoever to do with the SAL. This sort of reporting is a smear on the antiwar movement and those who have set up the July 14 Mobilisation Committee.
I have no objection to Salient continuing its tradition of printing smears against the radical and antiwar movement in Wellington, just so long as those responsible for them have the decency to put their name to their handiwork.
