SALARIES AND WAGES
Government Will Carry Out Its Promise NO EXCEPTIONS By Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, June 4. “Wo promised that we would restore salaries and wages to the 1931 level, and we are going to carry out that promise,” said the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. M. J. Savage when referring in an interview to-night to a rumour current in the south that restorations would apply only to salaries of £3OO a year and less. The suggestion had no foundation in fact, said Mr Savage, and had never even been thought of by the Government. It was certainly the policy of tho Government to look utter the man with a small income first, but there was no truth whatever in the suggestion that those with salaries greater than £3OO a year would not participate in the increases to be made. There would be no qualifications.
