CIVIL SERVANTS
(To the Editor.) Sir, —A striking statement was included in your ismie of yesterday in the report of the deputation which waited on the Prime Minister relative to the Civil Service salary* reductions. If it is true that one-ninth of the wage-earners, of the Dominion are to be compelled to provide one-third of the estimated additional revenue required by the Prime Minister, there certainly seems to be »wind arguments for protests. Such protests (jannot surely be dismissed by a mere gesture that "that is my proposal and I inteud to submit it to Parliament." Either the deputation is wrong in its figures or the proposed 10 per cent, impost on Civil Service salaries is a very unjust one. —I am, etc., VERITAS. 19th February.
