Fish
Sir, —Your General News column yesterday reported: "Fish was scarce in Christchurch yesterday and supplies are expected to be short today. The recent bad weather, etc.” Now. Mr Kirk, in the House, and in another column, is reported as stating: “Our internal market is capable of great expansion. In Wellington today there are large quantities of fish in private freezers. If this was disposed of the price of fish might fall ” Why should not a State enterprise, or even the Japanese, breach the bottleneck between the fishing grounds and a com moping public who would be d
fish-eating nation were supplies not artificially restricted? And why is it more immoral for Japanese to fish in New Zealand waters than for New Zealand to tacitly support British policy in sending gunboats into Icelandic waters to protect British fishing Beets doing the same as the Japanese are doing here?—Yours, etc., - *W. J. MUSSON. July 28, 1960.
