PEOPLE WHO GROWL
\ MR. FRASER ON SHORTAGES P.A. CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. Referring to internal problems caused by the war, the Prime Minister (Mr. , Fraser) said in his address last night that he had little patience with people who growled because they could not . have an egg every morning or because ■this little thing or that little thing was in short supply. After what he had seen overseas he knew how little New Zealand had suffered except for those . whose menfolk had gone overseas. Those who stirred up complaints were doing fifth column work and doing . something detrimental to the war effort. • ' The Government would do every- • thing to keep down the cost of liv- • ing, Mr. Fraser said, and had succeeded better than the Government of any other country. "We may be asked to do with less of certain commodities,"- he said.. "If we are, I hope that* the people of , New Zealand will show the same spirit ~ of sacrifice." '
