NEW ZEALAND OR OTAGO?
Sir-I read with interest the views of Dr. J. N. Findlay, of South Africa, and as Dunedin is my hometown, I feel I can agree with him-but only as far as Dunedin is concerned. I may be wrong; but to me it seems very obvious that Dr. Findlay is living in Dunedin, has not spent very much time anywhere in New Zealand other than in Dunedin, and is making the mistake of judging all New Zealanders by the southern Standard. After living a few years only in the northern cities and districts, I have come to realise, and quite rightly, I think, too, that the average New Zealander in the north has a very different outlook, and displays decidedly different characteristics, from the southerner from Dunedin in particular. So perhaps Dr, Findlay is hardly yet qualified to offer criticism of the general characteristics of New Zealanders: and perhaps also Dunedin is seeing herself as others see
her.-
OTAGO
(Lower Hutt).
