MR. TROUP'S ECONOMICS
(To tho Editor.) Sir, —It is not a difficult matter to guess the identity of your anonymous contributor, "W. North," who depreciativeJy writes of the Mayor, Mr. G. A. Troup. As one who heard Mr. Troup's address in question, may I. say that no such unfair construction could possibly have been placed upon it. Mr. Troup stated unequivocally that he stood wholeheartedly For the promotion and advancement of local industries, but like any wise and fair man, that the welfare of New Zealand depended upon the farming community more than upon anything else; that whatever happened in the present crisis, the farming industry must be saved. Were it to perish New Zealand would perish with it. Your correspondent's remarks seem to be tinged with something other than correct information and common-sense, and anyone who knows Mr. Troup's opinions must be amused. The address delivered by Mr. Troup made more than a favourable impression upon his listeners, and it is patent that in Mr. Troup Wellington North has a candidate who will bring a very great measure of knowledge and sound economics to bear upon the problems of the Dominion.—l am, etc., FACTS.
