“LABOR’S FOOLISH POLICY.”
TO THE EDITOB.
Sir, —In your footnote to my letter appearing in to-night’s ‘Star’ you state that my argument assumes that the British •worker is 'Letter off on the average than the worker in New Zealand On the other hand, II contend! my argument proves exactly the opposite. If consumption is proportionately greater in New Zealand than in Great Britain, it simply means that the New Zealand worker is getting a greater share in the product of his labor; therefore New Zealand is the more prosperous country, which is exactly what I wished to point out. To raise the standard of living of the worker should be the aim of nil right-thinking people, but apparently a great many people are working in the opposite direction.—-I am, etc., F.M.H. November 23.
[Our correspondent eludes the main point; that Hr J. It, Clynes's speech was an advocacy of more production by the worker, which wo are not ■accustomed to hear advocated by New Zealand Labor members. —Ed E.S.]
