THE MILK COUNCIL
Sir, —Sovietism is not a Briton's idea of progression, and so I hope that the householders of this progressive city will not allow themselves to be lulled to sleep by the Milk Council's fair premises of higher standard milk. It is the business of Government inspectors, I believe, to secure good milk for us, and we are quite content with their achievements. So this plan of choosing each householder's milk vendor for him on the ground of raising the standard without raising the price of milk is just a drawing of a red herring across the trail. The issue at stake is not does Auckland want better milk (I doubt if it could be found), but is Auckland going to submit calmly to having its liberty of choice taken away. As a libertv-loving Briton I have been horrified at some of the New Zealand legislation, which seems to me to be tyrannous, so I do hope most sincerely that Aucklanders will arise at once and take no rest until this unwanted milk council is done away with, and this new threat to our freedom is removed. Alfred Bruck,
