CONDITIONS IN ENGLAND.
TO THE EDITOR Off TH2 PRESS. Sir, —In reply to "Anglo-New Zealand" in Press and his tirade against the statements of Messrs Bedpath and Dougall on conditions f prevailing in England, I wish to give the version of those born, reared, and now on the spot. I receive letters regularly from that East End Paradise called Poplar, where I was born, my family neing amongst _ the ; oldest inhabitants, having been in business in the East India Dock road as far back as 1810, when it was called the River road. My correspondents always s'tress the facts as stated by your two contributors exactly as they have done, and they are not of the idle rich, but working men who served their time in shipyards. Although able, capable, and willing workmen, they have, on account of age, been compelled to make room for men less competent, but who believe in getting all they can and doing as little as possible for it. —Yours, etc., G. R. FAIL. Christchurch, December 30th, 1929.
