CONSUMER AND COST
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —Most thinking people will, I feel, echo the concern expressed in your sub-leader under the heading "Consumer and Cost" in Wednesday's issue, and also the views of your correspondents regarding apple "dumping" and Mr. W. A. Bodkin's question in the House on this matter.
It is quite obvious that those responsible for destruction are either ignorant or unappreciative of one of Nature's greatest laws, that of "cause and effect," which, like "Old Father Thames," is quite regardless of man's attitude towards it in its functioning. For every positive there is, a negative and Nature's pendulum for ever swings. Neither individual, community, nor even a nation may exploit, mock, or deliberately destroy Nature's bounty and get away with it for any length of time, for, sooner or later, the swing of the pendulum catches up and exacts its toll. In exactly the same way the world today is reaping the harvest of its own sowing. It is not the immutability of Nature's laws that must change but man's recognition of them and his respectful conformity.—l am, etc., GEORGE BULL.
