TIME INOPPORTUNE
INCREASES IN SALARIES
LESS MOftEY FOE CIVIL SERVANTS
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, 2Sth September,
A definite statemei that the time is-inopportune-for the revision-of salaries in the Public Service, and that no present action by Parliament may be expected,, was made by Mr, G. C. Munns, M.P., at the annual reunion of tho Auckland section of the Post and Telegraph Employees' Association last night. ....
Mr. Munns, who was speaking iv the absence of the 'Postmaster-General, tho Hon. J. B. Donald, gave an assurance that all parties.were sympathetic towards the Public Service, and would do what was right when the country's difficulties were' less acute.
"No party in New Zealand to-day can raise your salaries," lie continued. "It is impossible. The money is not here. When you realise that between eight and ten millions less money came into the country last year in payment for exports you must, as thinking men, realise the position."
. Several previous speakers at the ■gathering had criticised tho Government in -regard to its treatment of Public servants in connection with salaries.
