TOO MANY SCOTS.

(To the Editor.) Sir. —I cannot pass unchallenged remarks made by Commissioner Lamb reflecting discredit upon rhe Scottish nation. Ho is either woefully ignorant or personally biased. Hut as a Scottish people we can afford to laugh at such utterances. 1 have lived many years in Rhodesia and Australia and I find there that the men of any consequence, breeding included, are those who have foraged their way from Scotland and Ireland.— I am. etc.. ALAX HOGG. To the Editor.) Sir,—Commissioner Lamb's remarks ire an insult to all Scotchmen in New Zealand. He evidently does not know ihe race he is talking about. As for the English having a kick in them, the lot [ have seen out here are a miserable 'rowd. He wants our Government to !ielp pay the Army for sending out immigrants, but hasn't New Zealand jot enough to do without flooding the country with people, when there is no work for them? I know what lam talking about, as we are among the sufferers through bad times, and still Commissioner Lamb wants to send more immigrants to swell the ranks of the unemployed. I say it is high time that iiir Premier put his foot down. The Mother Country has got plenty of land, and should open it up and put her people on it.—l am, etc.. INDIGNANT SCOTCHMAN.
