Death in Angola

Sir: The monstrous charge of racialism in Angola by Mr Trout Bloom is in direct line uith the late Mr Goebbels's 'big lie' tech. nique. No one who has used or visited the Portuguese us erseas territories can possibly make such a ridiculous statement, and Mr Malcolm Muggeridge, who lined in Mozambique during the mar. is on record as saying that he sass no racial discrimination there.

Ignorant comment by those uho have no first hand knowledge of the subject they so glibly pro. nounce on can do untold harm among the less intelligent members of the public, who believe anything they see in print.
