Manapouri
Sir. —If our politicians showed even a fraction of the foresight you show in your editorials on commercial
exploitation of our lakes, we I would feel a lot more conI fidence in them. I myself I have again written in pro- . test, this time to the Acting- ■ Prime Minister, but I don’t ! really hope for any better [than the usual evasion of the I issue. Our Governments are iso immersed in mercenary i matters nowadays that they : are quite incapabe of genui inely appreciating the longj term welfare of the'country jas a whole. So we still have | the incredible situation of i private citizens trying to protect our country from its “leaders.’’ What a prospect for the future! —Yours, etc., A. H. BENNETT. March 25, 1961.
