THE BRITISH MARKET.
There is danger of a mistake being made which may cost the British Empire its solidarity. No publicist knows the British public better than Lord Beaverbrook, whoso cabled message you were good enough to print, and his emphatic* statements have to be weighed accordingly. Whatever the British defects of character, lack of loyalty is not & distinguishing trait, and New Zealand will do Avell to insist on Government giving full measure to the Ottawa pledges, which were little enough in comparison with what Britain did not wait two yeans to do for her. Lord Beaverbrook writes: "Thank you very much for your letter of March 8. it is quite true that it is impossible- to get a continuous | guarantee of unrestricted entry because Governments come and go. But you are entitled to expect that this present Administration in Britain should give New Zealand all she asks, In any case, the offer by New Zealand has been rejected, not because a ■ continuous guarantee w r as asked, hut- because of • tho British Government's desire to establish quotas. Stand up ; for what you want and you will get it. The British people are with you. They will abide by you,.and not desert you. The people do not wish to admit the enemy within their gates especially the enemies, who attacked the gates. We will find a place for those who helped ns to defend the gates." A.-E. ROBINSON, Provincial Sec, New Zealand Farmers' Union,
