THE SOUTH ISLAND
Sir,—With the music of our mountains tingling in my blood of nativity I would like to express my appreciation to Mr Andrews for his action m endeavouring to waken into a useful state of consciousness the locm authorities of the South Island to the betrayal of a great trust. Out of the tumult of years I hear the voice of one of Canterbury’s leading statesmen saying, as they closed the last Provincial Council, that we would live to regret that action. Many thinking citizens have since wondered why they passed their affections for the Maid of Avon so lightly over to the “Broom behind the windy town” of Kipling’s dream. A tincture of Home Rule vigorously massaged in might even now not be too late to stay the rot of inertia and give us a firm, a healthy and beautiful South Island.—Yours, etc., T.E.L. August 16, 1943.
