PARTIES & FAIR PLAY
(To the Editor.) Sir,—Again and again the leaders of the National Party have denied any knowledge of or connection with the infamous chain' letter which is such an election scandal. Those, who know the Hon Adam Hamilton know that his word is his bond, and those who have attended National Paty conferences know also that his instructions to his supporters have always been -- “No matter what the provocation, always play fair.” Today there are really only two classes of people —the gentleman and the cad. The definition has nothing to do with income or social position. It is concerned only with character. As Dr Inge has said: “The name of gentleman is no longer a class distinction, but a national tradition.” Obviously the writer of the chain letter belongs to the second class, while the Hon Adam Hamilton is typical of the former. His breadth of vision, kindly tolerance and sense of fair play have all been instrumental in promoting the unity and enthusiasm characteristic of the New Zealand National Party today.—l am, etc., N. A. R. BARRER. Masterton, October 12.
