PUBLIC SERVANTS’ SALARIES
A POINT CLEARED UP
“My attention has been drawn to a letter appearing in the columns of the ‘Dominion’ of yesterday over the signature of H. H. Brown, organiser,. P. and T. Employees’ Association, having reference to the report of a speech delivered by me at Kilbirnie on September 27, in connection with the candidature of Mr. T. Forsyth, M.P., for the Wellington East seat,” said the Prime Minister (Rt. Hop. J. G. Coates) last night.’ “The report made it appear that I stated that there had been no decrease in the salaries of Civil Servants. As a matter of fact, I made no such statement. The point was raised by an interjector, who asserted that there had been a ‘cut’ in public servants’ salaries ‘last year.’ This I denied, and asked the interjector to indicate one Department in which a ‘cut’ had been made in salaries last year. He was unable to do this, and the remarks I then made bad reference, of course, to departmental salaries of last year.”
