STRANGE PARADISE
Sir,-Although the discontent of new settlers with the way of life in New Zealand .seems to be: elaborately dis- ~ cussed in the article "Strange Paradise," _I think Mr. Benda has missed‘a very important point. Most of» the" foreign immigrants to. this country-particularly ‘those who become the "displeased" per-sons-come from towns in Europe, New Zealand, because of the smallness of its population (not its territory, though), and because of its geographic situation, can only assume a place in relation to the rest of the world which any provincial town in any other country can ‘assume in relation to its respective capi‘tal. city. But there are, of course, many ‘people who are quite happy to live "in ,the country," particularly if it is @ beautiful country like New Zealand.
