SPIRIT OF ANZAC.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —T read with great interest the message of Anzac published in your paper on April 24. That the GovernorGeneral and so many of our country’s public leaders should put their names to such a letter is indeed indicative of the rise of a new spirit. As one who has offered his services to this country and been rejected, I see that my responsibility is not at an end. It is a responsibility to keep alive and to increase the observance of those moral and spiritual laws of truth, justice and tolerance of which the message speaks, that this country may be made a fit place to receive our soldiers, sailors and airmen on their return from the present grave conflict. It is necessary for us who are to stay behind, no loss than for present day Anzaes, to work for that peace we long for, the attainment of which is dependent on the subjugation of our individual, sectional, and national prejudices, and the spreading of the spirit of love, honesty, and selflessness. This is the basis on which a sound and lasting peace must he built. —I am, etc., ROBIN BRICKETT. Ivairanga, 25/4/40.
