I.M.F.
Sir,—Mr Ralph Wheeler states that “joining the World Bank would be an agreement for an all-round surrender of sovereignty.” Does he consider our surrender of sovereignty is for the ultimate good of New Zealand? Some people contend that Mammon rules the world of finance and has done, both before and since the dawn of the Christian era. The mighty dollar rules the roost, and press, clergy, army, navy, etc., all bow the knee to its mighty power. Devotees of Mammon have no bowels of compassion and any move made by financial magnates is for an extension of their millions but not for the uplift of mankind, else why the existence of semistarving millions after approximately 2000 years of the dominance of Mammon? —Yours, etc.. HIRAM HUNTER. May 18. 1961
