AUTO-SUGGESTION

Sir, —Your recent leader dealing with .auto-suggestion and a more Christian attitude to Russia, will be appreciated by all but those who imagine war,will be the winning horse and are prepared to back it. Condemnation without a hearing is not justice. The “Iron Curtain” was the result of more pressure from without than within. No householder will allow armed men to enter unless they can prove their intentions are good. On July 25 the Auckland Herald published, Britain, France and the Low Countries are to receive “heavy aid” from U.S.A. for armaments. On July 27 bold headlines stated, “Aid for Allies of U.S.A. 1450 million dollars.” The same old game as ancient as Egypt. The borrower is the slave of the lender, and must make bricks without straw or perish in the attempt. The dollar has taken the place of Pharoa, who got all that was coming to him. So will the dollar magicians who occasionally sit around the directors’ table in a palatial office and chuckle over the fact that a fool is born every second to be their meat. Russia’s cardinal crime was the refusal to pay exorbitant prices for goods supplied during the war, or compound interest on money owing. If Britain, France and their allies had done the same and told America a fair price or nothing the world would by this time have become an even keel instead of drifting to the rocks of destruction. -It is significant that* the dollar crisis sychronised with armament news. Was, the dollar the red herring to get Commonwealth heads to London? And is Communism another fish in the game, to shepherd the profits of 1450 million dollars of armament for a start safely into the U.S.A. gold? One wonders. But one thing is certain. The divinely ordained judge said of the same type of men during His Ministry, “Verily I say unto you they have their reward.” For impersonating the Devil- washing their smutty faces in the Holy Water of Christian freedom and branding converts for the flames of death and destruction.

Yours etc., HARRY SERGANT,
