My Dear People,--if* ... was compelled during the last two months from expatiating upon your wants and idiosyncrasies, due to the fact that it took mc all my time to look after myself, owing to shortage of wheat supplies I much rpgret 1 had to ration you, which I am pleased to hear you appreciated, as it created a longing lor more Champion Muscle Kaiser. Mr. Massey intends going Home to confer with the Imperial Government about naval matters and probably to coutribute to Un> Imperial one. I thought our large contributions of the flower of the Dominion with a man-power of about 300.000 (as no other country responded co liberally), would have been ample for gratuitous sea protection for the future, or until we got on our feet again Our present ■•mosquito" fleet is costins about £600.000 per annum, aud if it is increased by more "tnosquitos" or in contributions, it will require another 3/9 in the £ as income tax. aud it will be necessary to create a einking fund for the residue, which will dispense with future financial worries.

Sγ. Massey says be is not pessimistic, and why should ho be. with our products receding In prices daily (as every lane has a turning), and when he has put an embargo on all money wherever located, and it is not to be lifted until a Judye says so. I intend applying for the judgeship as I could please both parties. The Government is opposed to increasing the rates of interest on loans for public works, as It ia apparent there is nothing to lend with present embargo, but it has no objections to underwriting on outside markets. This ought to be good news for the Waitpmata M.P.. who has a desire to bridge our harbonr but I assume it will be subject to the approval of the Takupuna and Devonport l"erry Companies.
