SOCIALISM
To The Editor
Sir,—The Labour Party would give you a thousand and one answers, mostly bamboozling, to the question, “What is socialism?” Sir John Simon describes it as. follows: “Socialism was a form of intellectual measles which people grew out of, because as soon as they applied theu' minds to it they saw that it was not an advance, but a retreat, not a practical solution, but an impracticable theory.” New Zealand has suffered from another form of measles during the last few months, and it will be a great relief to the community when it passes. It is to be hoped, that both, the foregoing epidemics will be a thing of the past before the end of November. — Yours, etc.,
NO SPOTS’.
September 8, 1938.
