THE EMDEN
Sir,— So long as the relatives of the men who gave their lives in the Great War feel their loss, any suggestion that the crew of the Emden should be entertained at receptions, dances, etc., is entirely out of place. Our first duty is to our own people. "We owe nothing to the Germans, but we owe everything to those mothers and fathers who so willingly sent their sons away. Nothing shquld be done to hurt their feelings. I think we might well follow the lead of the Wellington Returned Soldiers' Association with regard to the visit of the Emden. Let them come and go, says the president. And so say most of us. GRATEFUL.
