The economy
Sir. — Ah, it is marvellous to sit back and enjoy the good life. Mind you. we do have our worries — there are the repayments on the new colour TV and so on. If only that pathetic starving crowd next door could afford some of the powdered milk we’ve got stockpiled — that would help. Then again, we could persuade our rich Uncle Sam to agree to equitable trading, or better still, to the heavy bias in our favour we have with our malleable brown cousins. Still, we’ve cut the subsidies on milk and bread. That won’t hurt anybody except babies and the poor, and it will be worth it for the progress we’re making. I know, we’ll cut back on aid, especially multilateral. You don’t get anything back on that anyway. Lucky we’re so creative when it comes to finance. — Yours, etc.. D. E. JOHNSTONE. April 5, 1976.
