EXCHANGE OF CULTURE
Sir, —One cannot help feeling considerable sympathy with the visiting Stratford-on-Avon Shakespeare Company in that by not remitting entertainment tax and charging it with income tax, this non-profit-making concern will be £13,000 worse off than it had expected to be. It must not, however, be forgotten that we New Zealand taxpayers, by subsidising the visit of our National Band to the United Kingdom to the tune of £ 10,000, are to ‘ that extent paying for carrying culture to the Old Country.--Yours, etc., CULTURE LOVER. April 9, 1953.
