A WORD TO “A WORKER.”
TO THE EDITOR
Sir,—Just a word to “A Worker.” It is a pity that when a public man speaks clearly and is appreciated by his audience though not necessarily agreeing with all he says, that at the same time he cannot endow an insignificant section of his hearers with the intellect or brains to assimilate what is said. The ignorance or untruthfulness of “A Worker” on the Customs duty is quite sufficient to stamp his other remarks as utter rubbish. To anyone but a silly A.B.C. student such as “A Worker,” it is clear that what Mr. Iraser said and what is correct, is that the Customs duty on the necessaries of life is a fraction of the whole and that out of the whole (£3,645,424 I believe last year) there is paid the demands for education. police, old age pensions, etc. It is very evident that apportion expended on “A Worker” tor the former was wasted.—l am, etc.,
