PEOPLE WHO GROWL
MR. FRASER ON SHORTAGES
(P.A.) Christchurch, Sept. 14. Referring to internal problems caused by the Avar, the Prime! Minister, the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser, said in his address last night that he had little patience with people who growled because they could not have an egg every morning or because this little thing or that little thing was in short supply. After what he had seen overseas he knew how little New Zealand had suffered except for those whose menfolk had gone overseas. Those who stirred up complaints were doing fifth column work and doing something detrimental to the war effort. The Government would do everything to keep down the cost of living, Mr. Fraser said, and had succeeded better than the Government of any other country. “We may be asked to do with less of certain commodities,” he said. “If we are. I hope that the people of NewZealand will show the same spirit of Spn-rifino.”
