LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Our Foreign Policy
Sir, —A careful reading of the cabled .‘\eeches of Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Ellen, and of your leader in to-<lny‘s "Dominion” on “Foreign Policy and a Crisis, ’ leave one with the impression that Mr. Chamberlain acts from motives of expediency : Mr. Eden from principle. Mr. Ciianiberlnin’s policy may seem more attractive for the moment, as giving better prospects of immediate peace, but can a peace brought about by such means as he proposes be a lasting one? Will it not in the end prove but a snare and a delusion, and lead to an infinitely worse catastrophe than anything that would befall us by following Mr. Eden’s courageous policy of acting on principle, and facing the consequences of so acting? Are not the words "The fear of man bringetli a snare.” just as true to-day as when they were, written, and as true for a nation as for the individuals who compose the nation? —I am, etc., AZVIt. Waipawa, February 22.
