SWELLED HEAD
Sir, —Of course, New Zealanders are bound’ to have swelled heads; Bishop Averill is right; why, it is almost the only available asset we have which enables us to keep our tails up! However, when we get the new bank we may expect that the Labour Party will be able to open accounts, and get overdrafts at half deposit rates; a simple way of earning an honest living will then be available by merely depositing one’s overdraft. It is merely a question of sufficient capital, which an intelligent Government can regulate by borrowing a few more millions annually to guarantee it. . "When a strong Government drives all private enterprise from the field, we shall all be civil servants, and -retire on pensions nt 40, to make room for the rising Generation, and continue to lead the world as hitherto-lain, .etc, OpTbIIST Wellington, July 9.
