MESSAGE TO N.Z.

PRAISE AND PROPHECY

REAVERBROOK PRESS LONDON, Dec. S. An amusing editorial paragraph appears in the columns of the Daily Express. It is amusing for its optimistic assumption and for a new method which implies something which is hardly true with the hope that it may be true. “The New Zealand Government is in ditlieulties, ’ ’ says the writer. “ It; is facing electoral defeat. This possibility is enhanced by the emergence of a new party —the Democrat party. “But tiu> difficulties of the New Zealand Government, are of its own making. It has allowed the impres-

sion to prevail that the British Government in London will impose quotas and subject New Zealand to duties on iis exports. “No such plan can be carried out without the approval of the people of Britain. Our people arc sympathetic to New Zealand. They know that the Dominion is the most splendid, the most loyal part of the Empire. They know the sacrifices which New Zea-

land made in the last war, and realise the. help she would give in any crisis

in the days to come.” At least the paragraph may be taken as prophetic of the violent pro- ; tests which will be made by the Beaverbrook press if and when definite quotas and duties are imposed , on New Zealand produce.
