Sir—Your correspondent F Whiley’s defence savours of childishness. The term unfair should be considered by the writer, when making public statements, as his utterances do not contain the quality of sportsmanship. However, as he is a disciple of the cult called "rugged individualism,” which has brought so ihuch misery to the world, in particular to New Zealand in 1930-35, I leave 'your, readers to judge the issue. . , , •tie states that the Citizens’ Association is a non-pojitical organisation.. I refer the - writer to the ‘‘Star-Sun of May 1941 (A vote against Labour. S. G. Holland). Why continue this farce? Come out and: fight in true colours. Mr Whiley’s defence of his Worship the Mayor can be likened unto Gilbert and Sullivan operas, when we consider the insurance fund is short of £4700' on this year’s estimates. In conclusion. I would draw your attention to the Labour Council’s last financial year—£22,ooo to centennial baths, and no increase in rates, and trade union sec- ; rptories afthat.—Yours, etc., B. JONES. 1541. •.
