RATIONS FOR BRITAIN
While I commend most heartily the inspiring suggestion of the Mayoress, Mrs. Allum, that Auckland housewives should contribute a week's rations to the Homeland, it seems to me that, although the people of Britain have suffered much and endured many privations, there are people in the liberated countries, such as Greece and France, and in the countries about to be liberated, who are not only hungrier, but are actuallv starving. It will be some time before sufficient food supplies from Unrra and other sources can relieve their suffering. I have no doubt that the people of Britain would be the first to endorse a suggestion that the food be sent to those in greater need. For. although Britain's wartime diet is restricted and monotonous, it is. nevertheless, adequate to maintain good health. M. W. GAMLEN.
