NATIVE-BORN AND IMMIGRANTS.
Your correspondent " Sucked -in A Greenockian" leaves one struggling b between tlie heights of joy at his J presence 111 thin country and the depths e of sorrow that present conditions cause <" him such great displeasure. While v admiring his remarkably intelligent '• statement that "one cannot eat the r view," I ask this question: Bid your 1 correspondent stop to think that the sont'ence applies in an even greater 'j 1 degree to his smoky, grime-covered birth-place? It is a well-known fact | that the offensive behaviour of unintelligent, unintelligible English imini- ' c grunts has caused all immigrants to be unwanted in the work and play of native-born Canadians. That is a state '| of affairs which unfortunately is be. , coming apparent rapidly in New Zea- j land.
