Security Council. I think New Zealand should be refused because this small country increasingly has become corrupt with its extortionary tactics of tax collection. It now uses the tax department and its powers to take money from individual's bank accounts by decree and for reasons other than tax. This type of action probably may be just the start of this small country's decline toward a dictatorship. DOUGLAS M. BAKER Timaru, New Zealand This article is copyright 1992 The Washington Times.
