"That Sort of Claptrap”
“Now there’s been a lot of talk, especially just after the war began, about a ‘capitalistic war’ and all that sort of claptrap, but as far as I am concerned, and as far as all rightthinking people are concerned, everyone realises the meaning of unity now,” said the Mayor of Christchurch (Mr R. M. Macfarlane, M.P.), at a social gathering at the Canterbury Bowling Club’s pavilion. “As for the- p-resent situation, we know the magnitude of what confronts us, but, in spite of that magnitude, we all realise we must stand together here in just the same way as the people of London are standing together at this moment.”
