ISSUE OF FASCISM.

Tt is reassuring to read the letter from Mr. •T. Blumhardt in reference to the situation in Germany and that country's aims. Too frequently we Xew Zealanders have been led to look upon Germany merely because she was our former war-time enemy as the bi<r, bad wolf, and it is therefore more pleasant when we hear a little from the other side. Just recently I came into possession of certain enlightening pamphlets circulated in Xew Zealand by the Fieht-. J -T?nrd Association of Hamburg concerning Germany's ri-ns and ideals, as well as a small illustrated booklet showing what had been done for the youth of Germany under Hrrr Hitler's scheme. These documents caused me and several of my friends to think more deeply than we had done in the past. I am ready to believe that the German people dread the thought of war and desire only to | live in peace with the world. What they do not want, any more than we Xew Zealanders desire it. is that Bolshevism shall be forced j upon them. And if Bolshevism leads to the constant trial and shooting of former leaders of the movement con-e. pient u;inn the undoubted di«se:is;.>u that niu-t in its J rank<. then heaven preserve us from its introIduction into our own coiintrv. i T.II.IAX LINDSAY.
