THE LATE COMERS
Sir,—l think the hoary-headed gibe about the alleged parsimony of the Presbyterian (Scotch) people coming from our English visitor, which you have credited with a “news” value, is in decidedly bad taste and is not repeated or even accepted as wit in well-informed circles- If someone near to the gentleman in question would whisper in his ear that, if he preserves an unbiased mind and keeps his eyes open, he might be excused if at the end of his itinerary he had formed the impression that representatives of the Hebrew race and sons and daughters of Scotland appeared to be the sole exponents of public philanthropy in New Zealand; and that of course includes this English province also.— Yours, etc., A. HUNTER. August 27, 1951.
