WORLD AFFAIRS
Sir,-Congratulations to Mr. J. D. McDonald on his splendid talk in Lookout on Saturday, March 13. It is understandably difficult for untravelled New Zealanders to gain a clear perception of world affairs. Many are somewhat guiltily aware of apathy resulting from this poor understanding of the world situation, but incline to the view that we are isolated bystanders watching everits over which we have no control. Mr. McDonald tactfully deprives us of this excuse and indicates the power this
small country could exert by influence and example. Our material advantages can be conducive to selfish wallowing and are liable to blunt our mental outlook. Such a well expressed view as the one presented by Mr. McDonald can do much to counteract this attitude and bring us to a better appreciation of our responsibilities.
J. H.
