“My Country, Right Or Wrong”
“The time has come when we ought to stand up and declare ourselves for the Empire and to hell with the other people,” said Major D. S. Murchison, Area Commander of the Home Guard, in an address on citizenship to the Christchurch Businessmen’s Club. “Too often in the past,” he said, “we have had foreign doctrines explained in our schools and universities, to the detriment of our Empire. In answer to criticism of this, we have been told that the young people must learn about all the doctrines, but they are not taught enough about our own. We could better revert to the old three R’s, coupled with ‘My country, right or wrong.”
