“AND NO CAKE”
Sir, —Congratulations to your leaderwriter, who has the courage to state in plain terms the approaching danger of food shortages, beginning with bread and ending no-one knows where. As sure as night follows day production will fall if the people are not educated in the economics of the earth. The politicians, with the exception of a few real farmers such as the member for Waitaki, simply pass the buck and infer that a farmer is a naughty and selfish man if he doesn’t grow wheat. Will the Government help with the labour question, assist the desperate farmer’s wife, see that it is possible to get carpentering and repairing done and new buildings put up, and, lastly, instruct the education authorities to stress to the voung the value of a life on the land rather than decry it.—Yours, etc, January 17,, 1952. .
