British Quaker To Go To Japan
(Rec. 10 p.m.) LONDON, April 28. Mr Harold Steele, the British Quaker, who wants to make a personal demonstration of protest at the proposed British nuclear tests, said today he would accept the Japanese Foreign Ministry’s conditional offer of a visa. Mr Steele said the conditions were that during his stay in Japan he would not participate in any act which might expose human life to danger. Mr Steele’s original plan had been to sail through the danger zone round the Christmas Island tests and expose himself to radiation.
Mr Steele said that in view of the conditional offer of a visa he would probably drop his plan to go to Fiji, a plan he had adopted in case his bid to go to Japan failed. He said he was not sure what he would be able to do when he arrived in Japan. The idea of joining a Japanese protest fleet which planned to sail outside the danger zone was not exactly what he wanted.
He said he thought it might be possible to establish himself on some island or atoll in the danger zone.
