FREE FOOD FOR THE UNEMPLOYED.
I would like to be permitted to compliment someone to whom the unemployed of New Zealand owe a deep debt. I refer to Mr. I. J. Goldstine, Mayor of One Tree Hill, who has shown courage in opposing the scheme for the distribution of cheap meat to relief workers. He has realised that these schemes will have the effect of placing on relief works hundreds of tradespeople who depend on the sale of foodstuffs for a living. Unless the people refuse to sanction such schemes for the feeding of the unemployed we will find that all of the people of New Zealand, excepting the Unemployment Board, will be on relief works, and then the Unemployment Board will truly be the Government. * A. E. COMBES, Hon. Secretary, Manurewa-Mamikau Unemployed Workers' Movement.
