DRIFT TO TOWNS
Sir,—Mr Sullivan’s remarks about providing factory work for sons and daughters of farmers is illuminating. Obviously, drift to the towns is to be encouraged. The people’s food can be produced by a few old men sitting on fences waiting for things to grow. Some of us, alas! know better. The trend is obvious, to thinking folk — urban drift, food shortages, and less exports, followed by reduced imports, and further rationing. No. our own interests, as well as our sense of decency in a hungry world, demand that we shall concentrate on growing food and making the best possible use of our fertile land. Let us not spoil our war record by losing the peace.— Yours, etc., NEMESIS. June 26, 1946.
