Machines And Labour On The Waterfront
Sir,—The solution to the. problem posed.by the watersiders is fundamental to the survival of such civilisation as we have. The correct answer has been known for 200 years but as it involves the question of the beneficial ownership of the credit we use after borrowing it from sources beyond our control and as those sources control all the organs of education and publicity, it is little wonder that civilisation is drifting like a ship without a rudder. Your interpretation of the freedom of the press is the freedom to suppress anything which inhibits the powers of the controllers of credit to control trades unions, employers’ unions, governments, churches, nations, and peoples by fomenting divisions at all levels of society. It is possible to remove the dangers of war by paying the wages of the machines as a national dividend to everybody, whether employed or unemployed. —Yours, etc., W. B. BRAY. Leeston, September 1, 1964.
