SOLDIER HARVESTERS
Sir,—“ No. 26240” is asking Mr Barclay to explain whflt the Army heads are doing while the soldiers are out harvesting. I’m sure Mr Barclay _is far too busy a man to be bothered with such small fry as “26240.” I am out as a soldier harvester, and we all appreciate the change. We are seeing country that we have never seen before; we are meeting the people; and, apart from that, we are doing something worth while and important, for without food we will not go far. Would “26240” like to see his loved ones going short of food and even starving, as a good many are doing at present in other countries? We were not forced to go out harvesting, but were given to understand that those who wished could remain in camp. We, as true New Zealanders, are getting on with the job. We say round up these agitators and that “The Press” should stop printing such dribble.—Yours, etc., SOLDIER FARMER, January 18, 1943.
