GERMAN EMIGRANTS
Sir,—l add this to my letter of yesterday. With the disbandment of the German Navy, most German sailors, almost entirely non-political in their outlook, and having minds in common with the ordinary British sailor, would be everlastingly grateful to the British Commonwealth for the opportunity to 1 start a new life on the land in any of the British Dominions. In the words of General Smuts, the people of South Africa have learned the lesson that the enemy of yesterday is the friend of to-day. A word of warning regarding the immigration of displaced persons. One must sympathise with them; but few are willing to work and most of them are completely demoralised, though there are, of course, notable exceptions. New Zealand, like South Africa, would do well to consider the immigration of suitable stock from North-west Europe.—Yours, etc.. W.T. March 6. 1947.
