CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND WORKERS

(To the Editor.),

Sir,—A recent brilliant tiook by Will Dyson, the famous- caricaturist, entitled "Artist Among • the Bankers," contains a ; dedication which, with a slight adaptation, might be vei'y appropriately addressed to the Wellington Chamber of Commerce. It reads as follows: "To J. P. Morgan, Banker of U.S.A and the World, who has* nobly said: 'England, France, and the. United States are examples of what • legislators will do in order to give the. people what they want. Modern Parliamentarians seem to" be responsible for an .orgy of over-spending— giving the people benefits for which they have not worked, and to which they are not. entitled,' I dedicate this book as a meed of, grateful thanks for the benefitcreating marvels of science and art which he has conferred upon a thankless world among which there may be mentioned the steam engine, the science of mathematics, the and the dynamb, the elec-trical-induction of Taraday- : and the aeo lpyle of Hero, : the automatic potatopeelev,' tEe conclusions, of-Pythagoras, the theories of Euclid, the- plays of Shakespeare, and : the Ninth Symphony, all of which sprang from, his tireless brain what time the human race stood supinely by doing nothing whatever, about it." Instead ot John Pierpbnt Morgan we might have the chairman of the Wellington Uiamber oi Commerce, and with so slight change the transference of compliments would surely be most appropriate.—l am etc., J — . .
