Some thought the League if Nations was the remedy, other disirmament, and so onl All -these have hopelessly failed. The remedy is not n Leagues or agreements, it is in the. heart of man, and until - ihe world earns the vital truth the remedy wU lever be effectively applied. Both Hitler and Mussolini have said might is right, but Mr 'Savage has said right is mightt, which is in direct contrast, and consistent with the divine >ian and power of “life, therefore it is 10 wonder a man of his spirit and c” i bre is amazed when he hears fearful, fhings s:id ageinst him. v ;■ Some day the likes of Hitler arid Mussolini and their ignorant followers, .vill learn to realise that right -is night, but -not until they reap the consequences of their sowing.

The peoples of the world are to blame more or less , for war, because they should think for themselves, and -efuse to be swayed and ded by others. They should form their judgment's according to the idea Is and principles of-; ife. Self must be forgotten entirely in 1 weighing matters that are for the good of humanity, because matters that are best for all mankind are best for the individual. A standard should be set on the basis of righteousness 1 °nd justice, not for New Zealanders only, but for all human beings, because they have the same feeling rtea.rts that we have with the same trials, troubles and sorrows in life. .Every ' candidate should be made to measure up to the that should have the quest/on of humanity, '.t the top.' Our Prime Minister ! quite a' number of his followers,, in mv estimation, measure right up to this ideal standard.'and I am sure if this standard was the world standard, wo would have world peace, prosperity and happiness..l am, etc., , ■ j.h. / Hokitika, May 9, 1C36.
