BRITAIN'S FOOD
Sir,—ln the extremely important and appealing article printed m iob Press” this morning on Britain s food, the following occurs: “Every person in Britain was intensely grateful to New Zealand for the food already supplied What is the meaning of this? It sounds very strange, for it is surely not a matter of charity in this instance. Obviously, it is a matter of plain duty, and also of self-interest, for we have just as much at stake as, Britain. In this favoured country, it is possible to. eat, in a single day, almost as much meat or butter as would keep a person in the United Kingdom going for a whole week.” I suggest that it would be perfectly reasonable if New Zealand were placed upon the same rationing 'scale as Britain with regard to these foods. Even then we should be incomparably better off—Yours, etc., GEORGE INGRAM. May 31, 1944.
