BRITISH WORKERS CRITICISED
Comment By’ Bishop Of Barking
(Special Correspondent N.Z.P.A.) LONDON. January 3. The Bishop of Barking (the Rt. Rev. H. R. Gough), who some time ago criticised the British working man lor “working as little as possible for as much money as he could get.” renewed his attack at an educational conference in London.
“As I visit factories and meet workers and dockers.” he said, “I feel there is little of which there can be legitimate complaint. These people are well looked after and receive a fair wage.
“Are they doing a fair day’s work for it?” he asked. “Is not there a tendency to use the strike weapon unfairly and without due cause? “A disturbing feature of the Welfare State is evidence that when more is given more is demanded.. “Instead of creating thankfulness it seems to create greed and covetousness, a determination to demand more and to snatch and grab if it is not given.”
