FIGHTS AND FUN
Sir,-Editors must have their fun, and it is not always possible for them to check the sources of their information. May I express agreement with much of the editorial entitled "No Fight No Fun"? At the same time may I indicate the general drift of the remarks upon which it was supposed to be based? In my address to the New Education Fellowship, I was interested in developing the theme that’ New Zealand, surrounded as it is by countries strenuously engaged in stimulating the growth of a national spirit, might find that it was transferring its cultural allegiance from England to America. I suggested that this would not be desirable, that we should show our acquaintance with the best that is known and thought, adapt it to our own conditions ahd add our own small contribution, that we should develop our interest and pride in New Zealand traditions and history, that we should find ourselves and our neighbours in the Pacific. I regret that with all your experience of newspaper reports you were unable to give ‘me credit for a little good taste
and a little common sense
