IMPERIAL PREFERENCE

Sir,—Answering your query as to the source of my “misleading” quotation I culled it from the “Advocate,” Auckland. We Social Crediters naturally respect our own monetary reform mediums, irrespective of the honest objections of * anti” newspaper editors. Even a daily newspaper editor may be wrong sometimes. There is nothing in your footnote to disprove the accuracy of the figures quoted, while we, no doubt, are expected to accept your own without question. Your reference to “a stable gold price” wobld lift many a wily financier’s eyebrows disapprovingly. It is usually “stable” as long as $e thinks fit, for it is the fluctuations of the gold price that make his world a paradise for the economic elect—and all with the least possible self-advertisement.—Yours, etc..

USE OF ATOMIC BOMBS Sir, —Many of your thinking readers must have received a great laugh at

your correspondent, G. Smith, quoting alleged Russian defence figures of 1939 as implying potential Russian aggression for 1956. No-one has suggested that Russia is blameless for world tension today. Just compare the various alignments of glorious allies and then bitter enemies of two world wars, together with today’s arrangement, and it is. obvious that little, useful people are not responsible. This realignment of former friends and now potential enemies is for redistribution of spheres of loot. Every honest intellectual knows this. The only clerics worth respect and confidence are the courageous Christian pacifists. Abolish the bombs’—Yours, etc., MELVILLE B. MITCHELL. June 9. 1956.
