AN ANTI-GERMAN PACT.

(To the Editor.) Sir, —In elaboration of my suggestion of a public league of persons who decline to handle or purchase German-made goods, I would suggest that a meeting of half a dozen in the city sympathetic with the project should appoint a committee. A brief form of agreement might be drawn gratuitously by a lawyer setting out that the signatories pledged themselves not to buy or sell German goods, or deal with any person buying or selling euch articles. A period of five years or such term as the committee might deem best would be stipulated. Aβ to finance, it should be easy to get 26 individuals who would pay £o in advance and hundreds who would give smaller sums down to even as small an amount as 2/6. I am not a monied man, but would gladly pay £ 1 per annum to subscribe to the agreement. The names and occupations ot everyone -who makes the covenant should be advertised at intervals in the daily metropolitan Press. • I am certain that once properly started the movement would meet with very wide and enthusiastic support.—l am, etc., J. H. LYTTLE. Ohakune.
