“BUY IMPERIALLY”
Sir,—It is remarkable how history repeats itself, and just as remarkable is the fact that we (the British Empire) contribute to the means which eventually brings trouble about our doors. Just as by trade Germany . became prosperous and overbearing with her prosperity and eventually determined on world conquest; just as other periods before have given us similar illustrations. are we to-day facing and making possible another such episode for history to record. We are, by our trading, helping to enrich the United States, and to-day we find the very same spirit beginning to show itself there. Bigger navy, world trade conquest, and peaceful penetration—how familiar are these indications, and always chiefly opposed to our Empire. Do we sufficiently realise as we buy our foreign goods that we are building up trouble and misery for those we agreed to protect—our children? Do we realise or think of past experience? Buy imperially; inter-Empire trading will ensure reasonable protection from another experience ns 1914-18 gave us, and may we realise this before it is too late.—l am, etc., J. H. BEALE. Auckland, February 22.
