TO THE EDITOI OT THE PBK3B. Sir,—ln reply to your correspondent "Promises" and despite his sneering remarks, I am firm in the belief that the Labour Government is solving the problems affecting humanity. The case of the deserted wife he mentions is neither here nor there. How many cases like this can he find in comparison to the number who will receive definite benefit from the new law? Regarding the sales tax, I can only say that Mr Savage has said it will go, and as I look upon him as a man of his word, that is enough for me. Reference was also made to the cost Of living, and I am quite prepared to admit that it has increased in some ways, but has declined in others. I am, however, willing to leave it to the Government, as I feel sure things will be righted in time. •I do not happen to think with pity of the 41 members who your correspondent says never, speak, as they do not exist. I have gone very quickly through Hansard, and find that at least 45 of the members have at some time made a speech, so after all they can forget about their running shoes. In any case, what is. the use of talk?

Surely whst wg wsnt’ is , done,, instead of a lot of useless babbling. . . The trouble with “Promises” seems to be that because the Government did not work miracles it has been a complete failure. —Yours, 'etc., ONLY A GIRL, ' August 18, 1936.
