Presumably 'l, along with every 1 other resident in New Zealand, am | paying interest on this debt, and 1 ! am wondering to whom is this colossal figure owing.—l am, etc., STAN BURTON. Komakorau, September 15. MAORI HOSTEL FUND (To the Editor) Sir, —With reference to my letter published in your paper on September 13 regarding the £IOO required before work can commence on building the new Maori hostel, I have pleasure in enclosing the promised contribution. Out of Hamilton’s population of nearly 20,000, surely there must be 99 people who will also giv’e £1 and thereby assist the hostel committee to get on with its good work.—l am, etc., EN-ZEDDER. Hamilton, September 17.
