N.Z. LEGATION IN RUSSIA
Sir,—After listening to a discussion in Parliament on the New Zealand Legation in Russia I feel sure the working taxpayer will have something to say. The Prime Minister and his party say the £29,060 a year which Mr Boswell is costing the country is very reasonable. A dinner costing £2OO for 18 persons is in my opinion a crime while millions are starving all over the world. If Mr Fraser thinks £4600 for office fittings and furniture is reasonable, how does he expect the returned men to furnish their homes on £100? Mr Boswell’s home cost £12,000, while the men who fought and saved our country are homeless or living in what Mr Semple would call hovels, and this from a Government which denies making class distinctions.—Yours, etc., WORKING MAN’S WIFE. September 19, 1945.
