(To the Editor.)

We have heard a good deal tb. money going out of this country, few New Zealanders trouble to the unfortunate Britisher money into the country. My oljgpis is a sample. About a year ago age of 65 I transferred my J® office savings here and prepared to ftf on my overseas income, which, well under the New Zealand £200-*.*!? class, sufficed me at Home. On have just paid a year's social «euriti tax, but unless I live to be 85 *h2 forfend, I shall never be permitted penny of pension or superamma« * allowance, even although by tajafin. war and increasing cast of livin» whittled down to potatoes a.oi Ju sandshoes and a pensioner's coat. I also have to pay UniteATSW dom income tax on everything overfrl) and now the further New Zealand ling in the pound. Doubtless moretn come. Meanwhile I see comfortably.** neighbours spending the pin money a? sented to them by a kind Government and provided by me, on cigarette*, frfe parties, lotteries and de luxe silk ttM. ings. "Get out if you don't life ft* you may say. Yes, but 111 have to to out like the Jew from Germany, leatjS £300 behind in the savings bank andtW value of the bach and section I'veboosit to live in! Trapped! vMaap THE SILLY 111.
