RUSSIAN FAMINE FUND

TE HORO’S CONTRIBUTION.

(Contributed)

The little village of Te Horo, hard up and all, is contributing over thirty pounds to the above fund. Only three people in that locality rejected the claim of humanity totally. None were asked to give, but .simply offered a means of doing so if they wished. The consensus of opinion in the country seerns to be that wo should have loaded ships with produce and send them direct. Strong comment is expressed, that the authorities have not only done nothing, but stood apparently in the way of doing. The suggestion is made that New Zealand produce, now in London in N.Z. agent's hands, should bo sent immediately, cabling authority from here on thd strength of local offers and subscriptions.
