COMMUNISM IN CHINA
Sir,-Recently I listened to two broadcasts. The first was from.3YA, and was entitled "The truth about ourselves." Reference was made in this broadcast to the "menace" of Communism. The speaker, a retired schoolmaster, advised his listeners to think for themselves in this matter, and he stated that there were just as many undesirable things.in America as there were in Russia. The second broadcast was a propaganda talk over the New Zealand network by the correspondent of a reactionary Paper, The Daily Mail. Many people in this country view with distaste the opinions expressed by this man, because they sow the seeds of another war. The talk about the danger of Communism in China is just so much alarmist padding. The correct attitude to adopt tothe Chinese Communists is one of helpful co-opera-tion and respect. We should respect the other man’s way of governing himself. Who said that our two-party system, with each side blackguarding the other, is the best? Is France’s system with five parties any better? What is the best _system of Government? ‘Does, anybody know? ;
