Challenge to debate

The chairman of the Combined State Service Organisations (Mr I. J. Reddish) yesterday challenged the president of the Wellington Chamber of Commerce (Mr A. Jolly) to a public debate on the question of wages and prices. Mr Jolly had said earlier yesterday that Mr Reddish had made emotional demands for ever-stricter price controls which no-one with a minimal experience of the market place and a basic knowledge of where real wages came from would have made. “Wage and salary earners are tired of businessmen whingeing their way to their growing bank accounts while wages face their worst freeze yet,” Mr Reddish said. Mr Jolly’s assertions were no substitute for analysis in such matters, and the need for effective price controls was being increasingly recognised.

“The housewife will continue to view with complete cynicism any claim that there is such a thing as effective price control,” Mr Reddish said.
