SPURIOUS PATRIOTISM.
ro ran editor. Sib, —On purchasing a straw broom the other day I was struck with a glaring inconsistecy in the labels. A brown paper cover flaunted the words “ Made in New Zealand. Support the country that supports you.” A very patriotic sentiment! On the handle was a sticker bearing Ljvi name ‘‘ Clean Sweep,” and in microscopic lettering in one corner the words “ Printed in U.S.A.” Is this “ supporting the country that supports you”? When printing becomes a lost art in our land, then it is time to go abroad, but in the meantime, let people practise what they preach.—l am, etc., May 2. Consistency.
