"THE DREAM AND THE REALITY"
Sir,-I have read your splendid editorial, "The Dream and the Reality," and endorse every word. Most of the people coming to New Zealand today arrive in the wrong spirit. Expecting to find several "Old Kent Roads," they want to bring their ideas along too. As for the assisted passages, it has been my experience that anything worth having has to be striven for. I arrived in Dunedin (at the tender age of 25) nearly 43 years ago, with the large’sum of one pound in my pocket, so I: had to bustle
around to find a job. Nevertheless, I am quite content to finish my time in "God’s Own Country." ¢&
