HOKITIKA "NEWS"
(To the Editor.) Sir,—l am afraid your Hokitika correspondent is a hopeless case. After sidestepping the main issue (viz,, his attack on a political opponent who happens to be absent on active service), he transforms a submarine —which I contended would" be used for the defence of England as well as other parts of the Empire—into "great works of defence," and practically admits that it is beyond his mental capacity to even "imagine" a Scotchman or an Irishman writing that he was helping in the '"'defence of England." The very effort caused him to cough up a .whole mouthful of exclamation marks. If the rather
drastic operation of transferrins; Ins thinking gear from' his ihead to ,his boots, as Rii£(rested by the secretary of the Blackball Band, were, carried out, I can now hardly believe that his feet would be pinched for room. —J am. etc.. ' UNION. JACK. Westland, May Ist.
