Another Point Of View.

[To The Editor.] Sir,— I have read with interest, in your issue of May 19, a letter from Mr. Marc.

T. Greene, dated Auckland, May 5.

I had no idea, in writing my letter of March 1, that it would produce such a loud detonation as that, nor that the explosion would throw up a further lot of his debris into the air. I have again read my letter of March 1, and see nothing in it that oversteps the limits of newspaper controversy. Mr.

Greene is entitled to his opinions, and I am entitled to differ from them.

Surely Mr. Greene has not such an overweening sense of his own import ance as to imagine that when he ex presses an opinion no dog must bark and no ass bray?

But the last paragraph of his letter is splendid as a piece of journalese, unadulterated, stupid, and yellow.

From the footnote to his letter, I gather that Mr. Greene is an inter national journalist, and a correspondent of “The Christian Science Monitor”

That does not render his opinions sac rosanct, nor excuse his display of rancour.

I remain, sir, cryptically,

Spartan.

Nukualofa, June 20, 1932.
