World Understanding
Sir. —World Understanding Week is an endeavour to interest people in the much wider problems of other countries as they effect the lives of the people of New Zealand I hope “Verities” understands this! It is presumed that addresses will endeavour to make people well informed on the effect of the Common Market on our economy. A glance at the maps of Asia and Africa call to mind that these two continents contain the bulk of the human race. An enormous proportion of the people living in them have standards of life that Ne-v Zealanders regard as below poverty level. Mr Walter Nash recently informed us that millions do not get enough to eat. This reminds us that the methods of production of hundreds of millions of people in Asia and Africa are primitive in the extreme. Hence the need for knowledge.—Yours, etc., RALPH S. WHEELER. January 14. 1962.
