A QUESTION OF LOYALTY.
(To the Editor). Sir,—l do not know the precise difference between the Douglas Social Credit movement, the Country Party, and Mr. Penniket's supporters, but to accuse them, and by inference, their adherents, of disloyalty, is not only unfair, but absurd. Their president, Captain Rushworth, served both in the infantry and the Air Force, and was a prisoner of war in Germany after his plane had been shot down behind the German lines. Another distinguished soldier, Colonel Closey, M.C., is their Dominion organiser, and Brigadier-General Sir Andrew Russell is a prominent member of their movement. lam also in a position to state that the elder brothers of both Mr. Jack Mason and Mr. J. H. Penniket served in the forces during the Great War, and that a large proportion of their local supporters are returned soldiers. —I am, etc., "VERITAS." Te Kuiti.
