RUSSIA’S EXPERIMENT.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —“ New' Zealander ” in your issue of 25th mentions a letter of his written five months ago to which this league did not reply. We did not see that letter. As to conditions in Russia, the evidence is too conflicting to accept even that of an Invercargill lawyer. Soviet speakers acknowledge the fact that their system is still in course of development. It has jettisoned Communism, and until the experiment has proved itself it is not likely that any sane body of people would adopt it. The league has no power to alter the administration of the funds in the hands of the Unemployment Board, but its individual members, besides willingly pacing the tax, show their sympathy to those who are out of work by practical assistance, just as do thousands of others.—We are, etc., New Zealand Welfare League. Wellington, March 29.
