Equality of Sacrifice
Sir,—The Cabinet of the Government of New Zealand have preached aud piously advocated “equality of sacrifice,” and being a farmers’ Government have carried out their reputed policy by bolstering up wheatgrowing and altering the rate of exchange at the expense of all other sections of the community.
Can Cabinet tell the electors why there is no ban on farmers not in distress receiving a share of the subsidy—for subsidy it is and nothing else? Why should the poor and needy be forced to pay additional prices for necessities to be split up among the farmers and farming produce brokers pro rata according to their wealth, for the bigger they are and the mors they export, the bigger the cut they get from the pool? How long will the people of New Zealand submit to such outrageous treatment? . Cabinet has betrayed the general public.—l am, etc.. EQUITY. Wellington, January 20.
