IT’S A RELIC WE CAN SPARE.
BY SINBAD. A lot of fuss is being raised at Home concerning works of art and monuments which Yankees seek to take across the foam, disgorging therefor many dimes and cents. For many men have agitated got and schemes to stop the trafficking they start. “The fellow,’’ says one speaker, “should be shot who sells to Yankeeland a work of art. One priory already now has gone to grace some Yankee magnate's big estate, and Oil Kings cast their longing eyes upon our works in oils their homes to decorate. So henceforth an embargo we propose to stop the sale of British relics all. Unless this transatlantic leak we close we'll lose Westminster and the Albert Hall.”
I’m sorry in a way these wealthy Yanks don’t carry on their buying in N.Z.. for we might wake some day with heartfelt .thanks to find the tramway shelter far had fled.
