BUTTER
Sir, —Recently I noticed that .members of the Dairy Board recommended the lifting of the rationing of butter and also of the subsidy. This, I think, should be done. It would stop all black marketing. Mr F. P. Walsh strongly opposed the lifting of the subsidy, as the poor and needy wouldn’t be able to buy butter. What Tommy rot! We have no poor and needy in New Zealand; and if we have, it is because their money goes to the races or to the hotel. Why should we be taxed to help them out? —Yours, etc., JOHN BULL. September 5, 1949.
