AN EXPLANATION
(To the Editor.)
. Sir,—Your report of my address at upper Hutt, taken as a whole, leaves no room for complaint. When, hovewcr, you head part of my address "default Likely," you convey a meaning (I am sure not intentional) never intended by me.
When dealing with quotas I neither approved or disapproved. I first drew attention to possible advantages to New Zealand, and then the possible disadvantages. I specially mentioned the possible advantages which could arise to New Zealand by a quick acceptance of Britain's proposals, as a gesture of goodwill, and a desire to assist Britain. I then drew attention to the possible disadvantages, if quotas failed to raise prices, which in my opinion would end eventually in unavoidable default by New Zealand.—l am, etc.j A.D.McLEOD,
