TROUBLE
Sir, —Please allow me to congratulate you on your very fine leading article to-day. What terrible reading the rest of the page contained, increase in price of factory jam, egg ration reduced to half an egg to one butter coupon, restrictions on industry, acute rationing of electric power, Brisbane Star delayed for want of frozen meat, reduced killing at Hastings, drastic railway cuts imposed, Waikato mines idle, ultimatum by freezing workers and Mr McLagan unable to answer the telephone. What is the Government doing about it? What is happening is exactly what the National Party said would happen after the surrender by the Government over the Wanganella. I think it is high time that Parliament was called together and we had a show-down; and if the present Government is unable to control these matters, let us have a'Government that can.—Yours, etc., COMMON SENSE. March 31, 1947.
