“Psychiatric treatment for Soviet unionists”
Sir, — The touching concern for some 200 so-called “trade unionists” in the Soviet Union would be more credible if their Western champions were more concerned for worker trade unionists in countries such as Chile, where trade unionists are really persecuted, and for trade unionists in their own countries. “The Press” sub-leader of April 17 chides the New Zealand Federation of Labour for its praiseworthy fraternal solidarity with Chilean tradeunionists and on April 18, published the slanderous “Observer” article. When was the London “Observer” or any other organ of the English establishment press ever sympathetic to English trade unionists? Never. If “The Times,” London, were not at this moment engaged in a war to the death struggle with the trade unionists in its employ, it too, no doubt, would be shedding its share of crocodile tears over the fate of Soviet “dissident trade unionists.”—Yours, etc., M. CREEL. April 21, 1979.
