A note of allegiance to the British Crown and appreciation of the privileges British citizens enjoy aeeoinpanied a gift of £ 100 received recently by the, National Patriotic Fund Board from Mr J. K. Natali, of Waimiha, near Ongarue. Mr Natali is president of the New Zealand Indian Association, but he made it clear in his letter that he made his contribution in his private capacity. His letter reads: —“As an Indian who has settled in this country for the last 20 years, who enjoys the benefits of freedom and liberty under the British Constitution, who is proud of being a British Indian subject, who is conscious of the privileges enjoyed by full citizenship in this country, and at the same time realising that the privileges also must carry the responsibilities of a citizen. I herewith enclose my cheque for £lOO toward the patriotic fund."
