FOREIGN COMPETITION.

To the Editor. Sir, —I read in the morning paper of the alarm felt of the possible influx of Jewish doctors to New Zealand as being unfair to students entering the medical course at the University. I think sons of New Zealand should be protected against the Jewish doctor. The do/Ts of New Zealand are a fine body and we all lift our hats to them. The fruiterers of Gore should be alarmed, too, by the invasion of Chinese. They were allowed right in the centre of our main business areas. They live cheaply, mostly on rice, and they can easily undersell the white man. Farmers patronize them openly. They leave the £5OO car parked, go across and buy the fruit from the Chinese, come out smiling and think they have saved a penny. Yet the Farmers’ Union slogan is “Trade within the Empire.” None of our lamb goes to China. How is he to get a good price for it, when the farmer spends the few shillings he has with the Chinaman. The Chinaman sends it home to China to bring out more young Chinamen to be a nuisance to our rising generation. With the American car, the Jewish doctor, and the Chinese fruiterer and all the money leaving the country, there will be nothing left for the native born New Zealander but the relief works.—l am, etc., DISGUSTED.
