CONDITIONS IN GERMANY
Sir,—l would like to remind your correspondents who advocate sending parcels to Germany that quite recently there was a war between Germany and the British Empire. Have your correspondents overlooked this fact? If there are any food parcels to be sent, there are millions of people in England who can do with them. The Germans are reaping the reward of their own beastly policy. Did they allow parcels to be sent to the prisoners in Belsen camp? Had they won the war, would they have permitted parcels to be sent to New Zealand? Personally, I find a lot of satisfaction in sending parcels to an English family whose father perished in an air raid. Let us never be blinded by sentiment. The needs of our own people come first.—Yours, etc., PRACTICAL. January 16, 1947.
