FREE SPEECH
»0 THIS EDITOR. Sir, —“ Bored Listener ” overlooks the statement that this Government considers that it “ can spend the taxpayer’s money better than can the taxpayer himself.” Therefore economy in State expenditure becomes a crime, extravagance a virtue. This is shown definitely in commercial broadcasting with Mr Scrimgeour and his assistants to co-operate with the Government in demonstrating to the taxpayers just how much better their compulsory contributions are being spent. However, the deluded taxpayers, the majority of whom are lucky if they get £1,500 in four years, let alone one, are beginning to awaken, and will think twice before returning the Socialists to power.—l am, etc., Once Bitten. February 14.
