REPRISALS
Sir,—The pronouncement by Conari Doyle in this morning's Dominion in most important at the present juncture; The- position he takes up is quife Him correct ono: "Eye for eye tooth for tooth, burning for burning;," etc, in this law of the Old Dispensation, underwhicb. the present war is being fought. Anyone reading Isaiah 13 will see at a glance that there is no maudlin sentiment; about Old Testament warfare; and'ld imagine that it is more "Christian" lo starve innocent women and children In (leatli than to Bomb them is absurd. The fact that Germany bombed our undefended towns with the idea that it would affect the morale of our people proves conclusively that nothing will bring them to their seizes quicker than ruthlessly bombing their cities.—l am. etc., JOHN PLOWMAN.
