CONDENSED CORRESPONDENCE "Defenceless" asks whether, how that murderers, the majority of whom are husbands, are to be treated with an amazing indulgence, it is time that the Society for the Protection of Women and Children awoke to the fact that in lonely rural places defenceless young wives are entirely at the mercy of their husbands' whims, passions, tempers, and caprices. When a young wife's mother cannot afford to visit her daughter regularly, or when she is riot made welcome by her son-in-law, the young wife and mother; often have a very rough time. .*' DitheryDick ''," thinks that, far from being condemned for holding the dancing championships at the Town Hall, Mr Brown is to be congratulated upon the initiative he has-shown, but expresses the conviction that Mr Brown would be well advised to have a trio of judges, each to submit a written judgment, the majority opinion, of course, being accepted. Under the present rules the most popular couple must/win, irrespective of their dancing ability, and this would make the championships a farce.

"•New Zealander" considers that the Prime Minister must have blushed to the roots of his hair as he listened to the political tirade of his colleague'the Minister of National Service at the opening of the West Coast railway on Tuesday. It must have been especially nauseating to him at this time, when all the speeches we hear from himself emphasise the need for national unity. While parents and wives were anxiously waiting for a broadcast of the news from the Western Desert; where their sons and husbands were in the thick of the fiercest battle, the only thing we could hear was this egotistical "soapbox oratory from" a Minister about whose past history the less said the better. U. E. MacManus says that Mr S. C. Sutherland's irritation at not hearing the war news on Tuesday was nothing to his- when 4ZB announced that, weather conditions made it impossible to rebroadcast. But when he turned to 4YA his' annoyance turned to joy as he heard the speeches of Messrs P. C. Webb and R. Semple explain that it would be invaluable for transporting troops in "the event of enemy invasion to have the railway system on the West Coast linked up with other systems, and how the use of the new line would develop the varied resources of the West Coast, thus expanding productive effort and finding new employment for people in the industries that would inevitably '. follow. It was a matter for congratulation to know that the Dominion's destiny was safe in the hands of capable and virile administrators who are fired with enthusiasm and with the incentive from it that marked out Labour administration from that of other political parties. "Lend to Defend," having noticed frequent advertisements calling for the services of tradesmen, suggests that firms that are at a dead-end, due to import restrictions, should lend their men to other firms that are finding it difficult to obtain skilled labour. "Matilda." having been always under the impression that our Parliament was free from what might be termed the gutter-bred type of politician, was shocked at reading that the people of the West Coast had witnessed the pathetic and .discreditable spectacle of prominent Ministers of the Crown releasing a reservoir of unsavoury invective upon the heads of those who dared to interject at their meeting. These trumpet blowers, valiantly and sanctimoniously squeak about unity and co-operation, while at the same time they are upsetting our programme by their platform behaviour. The sooner they realise it, the sooner will we get an increased war effort. "Calling All Women" states that in a railway carriage in which she travelled the other day the loud conversation carried on by several women could clearly be heard by all. One remark which disgusted her was, "My husband has made a good bit of overtime lately, so that will make up for the money I've lost at the. races." She asks all women to wake up to the fact, that there are jobs to do than rushing to the races, fighting for silk stockings, or fretting about the shortage of petrol for pleasure trips. "Stop, Look, Listen!" though not a pacifist was surprised to read that a Christian leader had said that "Hitler and his unruly gang were the vilest and most wicked men the world had ever known." He realises that in a practical world we are in a mess, and he asks whether if we are to get out of this mess for good we should not go about it in a better way than hating. Hate was only poison to the person
