Salient rejects allegations of Soviet Social Imperialism

Dear Sir,

I have only been in your beautiful country a short time, but may I say how much I enjoy your newspaper. However, there is one thing wrong with it : the name. Do you not think a name like "Pravada" would be more appropriate ;

Yours faithfully,

Ivan K.G.B. Popov.

( It is understandable that you think "Pravada" is more suitable, your having been here only for a very short time. If you look closer, you'll find that we have continually warned of Soviet Social Imperialism threatening New Zealand. The USSR, no longer a socialist country, is now the greatest threat to world peace — Ed)
