Price Of Fruit
Sir, —Most people reading the Hou. Mr. Barclay’s explanation of the steps taken by the Government to provide for the vegetable requirements here for the armed forces and the civilian population must have been struck by the lamentable lack of foresight exercised by the “powers that be.” When one considers what has been accomplished in England—a country no bigger than New Zealand iu area—accommodating between 40 and. 50 millions of people, against our It millions, and including millions of troops, where vegetables are plentiful and potatoes are selling at one penny a lb., New Zealanders can well be amazed at the position that has been allowed to obtain here. If this is not another instance of the mess a Government can get a country like this into, what on earth is it?—l am, etc., LEANDER. Wellington, October 10.
