INTERN THEM? YES!
To the Editor. Sir,—l was delighted with your leading article in to-day's Daily News. If a few more of our leading newspapers would agitate and bring public opinion to bear on the subject of internment of all Germans it would compel the Government to pass a measure and soon settle that question. As you are aware, the Germans in New Zealand own large and many properties of good value. Then, make the Government confiscate thoae properties, realise on them, and keep the Huns with their own money. They came here and fattened under our laws and amassed a competence in many cases, and now they are trying to bite the hand that has fed them. Take the case at Gore; even German-born settlers can rejoice with impunity on the alleged naval victory of their compatriots. Why should so many of our noble boys give up their lives in this terrible war through, and only through the cursed Germans' action, and, forsooth, we are also to be rated to keep the Hun in comfort and idleness when they possess so much valuable property of their own! No, Sir, let us use drastic measures and not play the old woman any longer! 1 am, etc., "A SUFFERER BY THE WAR."
