China Policy

Sir, —American interference in Chinese affairs year after year, backing corrupt feudal elements there, is well known. The Central Intelligence Agency of America intrigues unceasingly throughout the world on behalf of selfish American interests. Coup after coup is engineered, regardless of the misery incurred. “The Press” (February 26) said that the coup in Ghana was instigated by the C.I.A. The trouble in Indone-

sia was also due to C.I.A. activity, according to the television news. The basis of war is economic. The American economy is geared to war. I had it on excellent authority that disarmament in America would result in recession, unless she increased her public sector (State-owned departments). The biggest threat to New Zealand is economic penetration by American capital. This will result in a loss of New Zealand’s independence due to powerful pressures to serve American and not New Zealand's interests. We shall become a pawn in American power politics.— Yours, etc., D.G.W. February 28, 1966.

[The February 26 report to which “D.G.W.” refers is evidently the claim by Mr Khow Amihyia, former head of Ghana’s intelligence service, that he “master-minded” the coup which deposed Dr. Nkrumah. He said he was trained by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. —Ed., “The Press.”]
