MARCH 1 1983 CRACCUM ► 5 Chaplins Chat OLIVER CROMWELL AND MARSDEN POINT t was August 1650 and Oliver Cromwell was Iapproaching Edinburgh, the irresistible force confronting the immovable object ! He wrote these memorable words to the General Assembly of the Kirk of Scotland: ‘I beseech you in the bowels of Christ, think it possible you may be mistaken. ’ These words came to mind during the recent rash of industrial strife in New Zealand, especially at Marsden Point. Our conditioned reflex is to take partisan sniping positions and rationalise everything that happens as ‘supporting evidence’ for our point of view. It is too easy to become righteously indignant at the intransigence of the workers. With 108,000 New Zealanders unemployed, there is surely a proper concern at overseas workers being brought in to do their jobs. c S 9 Likewise, it is too easy to heap all the blame on the management. This is a joint venture, one of the costliest undertakings in the nation’s history. They have the task of amassing and leading a very large 1Of'cw ofl workforce in a place apart from the main population. n n They too have proper concerns. >\0
