The Economy

Sir,—So Tom Bryce “can't take it” when four National supporters write to the paper. Perhaps he should get in touch with the editor and see that only Labour or Communist letters are published Thank God for a free press —Yours, etc.. BLOOD PRESSURE. April 13, 1962. Sir, —Tom Bryce is not correct. The National Party has not added to the vicious taxation rates of Labour's 1958 Black Budget. The rates were reduced by the socialists after widespread protests all over the country warned them they had made a mistake and that the country was alive to their use of taxation as a means of bringing about the Labour Party's political objective, i.e., the socialisation of the means of production, distribution, and exchange. Income taxation is still substantially the same as when Labour was overwhelmingly defeated in 1960. The National Government, because of the rash commitments left behind by the Socialists, has as yet been

unable to reduce taxation, but Mr Holyoake has promised reduction soon. He * able to make and keep this promise, as the National Government only uses taxation to obtain revenue, not, as Labour does, to bring about complete socialisation or a totalitarian Slate. Yours, etc.. FORWARD WITH NATIONAL April 13. 1962 Sir, —The answer to Tom Bryce lies hidden in a letter by “Far Banck Dan” printed to “The Press” on Thursday.—Yours, etc.. B CONSTANT. April 13, 1962.
