"There are probably New Zealand air gunners over Berlin tonight on a most dangerous enterprise, and they are paid 7s 6d a day, plus 4s 6d a day deferred pay; how can the daily payment under contract of 22s to aliens —Italians —in timber camps be justified?" asked Mr. F. W. Doidge (National, Tauranga) in the House of Representatives last night. Mr. Doidge said he was certain the people would regard the fact that enemy aliens were paid 22s a day on contract, if true, a? scandalous. He pointed out that apart from the airmen mentioned. New Zealand soldiers were paid only 7s 6d'a day.
