(WESTIONS FOR CIVIL SERVANTS «j». If you are a civil servant, ask yourself these questions: Have you received from the Fraser Government working conditions equal to conditions outside the service?. Do you agree that because of the influence and power of certain, union “bosses” 'the groups they represent should be singled out for special treatment? Do you ’believe you should be taxed twice tor one ’benefit? Do you favour the handing out of “plums” to outsiders, thereby limiting your own prospects of advancement? The Fraser Government, in spite of all its fine words, has not improved ,I’he lot of civil servants, many (jjf whom are under grave economic handicaps. The steady progress towards a State distatorship gives the State more and more power over iis employees, whose prospects of improving their positions are thereby diminished. What New Zealand should aim at is a balanced economy in which, an efficient civil service, maintaining the high traditions established in the past, plays its part along with private enterprise in fostering the progress of New Zealand. That is the objective of the National Party which, is pledged to correct the legitimate i grievances of the civil service, and. ensure a fair Meal for All, Therefore, Change the Government to-morrow.
