ENEMY ALIENS.
(To the Editor.)
. Sir, —naving read the correspondence going through your paper of late, I think it would be much 'better for the community if some more vita' quas tion was" put before the public. A.* the returned soldier has been man enough to have gone away to fight for his people and country, surely he is man -enough t,o be able to refuse a glass of beer, if it is going to 'be detrimental to himself. Now that your correspondents! are talking such -a 'let about being so patriotic why do they not show their true patriotism by convening a public meeting in order to pass a resolution backing up the Wanganui councillors' action, re the internment of all aliens? I would ask the pu'blic of Nelson to compare the treatment of our prisoners of war and the British subjects who were m Germany when war was declared, with th<» treatment meted out to the aliens in this country. Is it not time, considering. it is nearly four years since war was declared, that the public should make a stand in this direction? , I anetc. ' ...'.'
