HELP FOR BRITAIN
Sir, —Could not some more suitable expression be devised that “help for Britain, which seems merely to sugfiest that we prosperous New Zeaanders should spare a little for our poor relations, the British people? Quite true, no doubt, but the position should be clearly understood. Britain, once powerful and rich, sacrificed practically everything she possessed and her people endured terrible hardships to win the war. Failing this, New Zealand and the rest would to-day have been in a sorry plight indeed. Besides, we are partners; and whoever heard of one favoured partner helping the other when adversity came to the firm? What is needed Is that we all work together to restore to prosperity that great firm which may perhaps be called British Commonwealth, Ltd. And as sending food to Britain seems at present the most practicable way of furthering this great end, every possible pound shoula be sent.—Yours, etc., GEORGE INGRAM. October 3, 1947.
