Comment on Rolls-Royce
(N Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) LONDON, February 7. One of the most subtle comments on the collapse of the Rolls-Royce business empire came at the foot of Saturday’s miscellany column in the “Guardian.” Last month several Labour members stood in the House of Commons and sang “The Red Flag” in protest against the Government’s guillotine motion on the Industrial Relations Bill. On Monday, says the “Guardian,” it is expected that the following ditty may get an airing:
The people's flag is deepest blue, Were buying up Rolls-Royce for you. But should the profits rise, well then, We’ll flog the - - - back again. The “Guardian” does not suggest which side of the House the chorus will come from.
