BRITAIN AND THE LEAGUE
to the editor. Sir, —Your correspondent " Patriotic New Zealander" is getting personal. It does not matter to him where I live, the old woman with her broom applies to him, and the old woman and her minister does the same to most of us. I am. not a judge of the dispute, but just an ordinary mortal who knows that the tail cannot wag the dog, and that the dispute will not be settled in Balclutha. "Patriotic New Zealander" objects to old sayings. I shall give him one quite modern. An old lady lived in Balclutha, and although she was told often enough not to introduce her daughter as "my daughter from the country," she always persisted in doing eo. The daughter lost her temper one day when introduced, and said: "A fineblooming town this is! " I shall make " Patriotic New Zealander" a sporting offer. Let him take any subject other than war, and sign his letter, and I shall do the same. —I am, etc., Another New Zealander.
