Scarcities
Sir, —To some, though perhaps relatively few of us, tihe import restrictions alone entail quite sufficient frustrations. though the resultant "cafard’’ is in a certain degree mitigated by the assumption that it is martyrdom in a good cause. Those other shortages, however, mentioned by R. M. Thomson are a very different matter. Why should one have to chase all over a city the size of Christchurch, often enough quite fruitlessly, for some elementary article or service? Either there is something very wrong with production and distribution or there is so much money about that such trivialities Have no significance.—Yours, etc., M.T. November 17, 1961. ,
