LETTERS IN BRIEF
MORALITY IN NEW ZEALAND '" "A Young New,,Zealander," referring to tt> 'the discussibn on "Moral Standards in New Zealand,".comments:— s "I wonder if Sir . Robert ' Stout read *hout that dastardly case in Christchurch a poor girft. life was forfeited because of-the state of morality in this country?. What does the law do for the girl who has been wronged? It simply hounds her down to .the gutter, while it allows the man to go unpunished. I would like to ask Sir Robert. Stout a simple question, and it is this: When is he and others going to 'punish, the. man' and do away with this immorality, which is ruining our country? Within the last twelve months there have been two hbrrible cases in Christchurch, in which, two. young New Zealand girls-have lost their lives (one being foully murdered) because:of; immorality. One of your- correspondents, "Pro Bono Publico,' wrote a very good and' true letter, and there is no doubt that he voiced the opinion of the great .majority of the people of .New Zealand. I would like'to ask what. ar 4 e those in authority' going to do about it? I am a young New Zealander, and Hook with horror, indignation, and abhorrence at what I see in the papers almost every day in connection with im■2or»Kty in my country."
