INTERNATIONAL SLINTER

Sir —My opening phrase in this controversy "There is. nothing good nor bad hut thinking has made it so,;' has raised a storm which has been calmed by reference to the past. No thinking, good or bad, can rectify the pas.t 4 little ripples follow big waves ? now finance follows slinter. Finance unlike slinter has no coating of corruption or swindle; it hides nothing; its functioning opens the gate to gentle-, manly criticism and good thinking. The pen is mighter than the swordt but 'out of control' will resort to ventilate vice corruption and swindle. My correspondence has been directed to this word of inference "Slinter" applied to incriminate men and nations. We are not digging up the past, it is gone. Men and women have died and are dying for the sins .of the past. Mr Bradshaw endeavours to see the sins committed by Wall Street —I will endeavour to show some of the good performed by Wall Street. Great Britain harbours Wall Street and as well mothers the greatest clutch of chickens of any nation in the world; they all have their freedom liberty and independence. When their mother was threatened and attacked by unscrupulous roosters these chickens, did not clamber under her wings ? they lined up beside her, to keep these roosters at bay. Wall Street helped these chickens until they were able to do for themselves and today one of these chickens is endeavouring to pick up in its immediate vicinity to help destroy villiany and deceit to help mother and the rest of the family. There is no slinter in hard facts support it! Slinter; this word applied here or in this, controversy does not convey what is meant. It does not get away from the root but just hovers where it doe,sn't. fit. Great Britain's chickens fed and feathered by Wall Street bear all the good thinking of Empire l pillars— Marshall Mackenzie King, Me,nzies and in his day Gordon Coates. All games of slinter in the future will be played under rules laid down by a United Nations Peace Conference. Wheal Mr Brad&haw can kick off with his. by-gone slinters they might score. Yours etc % P. MORA.
