GATHERING CLOUDS.
Sir,- Your leader starts off well with a cry of impatience with those wha speak of war. But when you say that nearly everybody knows why the clouds are gathering you over-estimate either the wisdom or the credulity of most .of us. Unless we are brainless, you sugges we shall keep our heads. What, b your. own criterion, are we then to think of your concluding remark that resis« tance to preparation for war is’ certain to hurry on the calamity? Since even talking of war is dangerous, as you point out, can preparing to wage it be lesg so? Or are we to understand your mes sage (in spite of your commendable sense of "the folly of provocation ee public utterances") to be: "Praise -and pile up the atom-bombs!’’?
R.
GOODMAN
(Auckland).
(Our correspondent will find the afiswerg to his questions if he gives a little m attention to what we said and a little to the attempt ‘to score a point against us.-« Ed.)
