POINTS FROM OTHER LETTERS
H. T. Willis thinks that New Zealanders should “be proud that a great nation like America follows our example when planning a new domestic economy. We already enjoy all that Mr Truman hopes to bring about in his country. ... We are, I think, watching a civilisation coming to birth, a co-operative, peaceful, kindly State, in place of the competitive unbrotherly conditions we have known.”
Elizabeth Hillgrove thinks that "zoos are a blot on our so-called advanced civilisation.” “We are told that zoos are educational,” she writes. “Heaven forbid that we should gain education by inflicting pain and misery on the helpless.”
“Disgusted” thinks that electors should “keep in mind the actions of certain councillors with totalitarian tendencies and vote them out. . . .
The contemptuous attitude of certain councillors, as of bosses and not as of servants seeking to know the will of the people, calls for a vote of censure from the long-suffering public.”
