REFUGEES
Sir,-It is perhaps not too late for me to express the very great appreciation I felt some weeks back at the appearance in The Listener of an article. putting forth the case for the German and other refugees in New Zealand in such decent and fair terms. There have been so many warnings appearing in various papers lately about the danger of this minority to the community, that it was a real pleasure to find a paper ready to give space to a calmer and more Christian view of the situation, and one which is, I think, more in keeping with the spirit of tolerance and fair-play, which we hope is still a characteristic of the British people, as well as with the truth. It is not the first time that your paper has seemed to me to be trying to be representative of that decent, and very large element in the community, whose voice, strangely, is so seldom heard in official
utterances.-
