Sustenance Pay

(To the Editor.) Sir,—Please allow me a small portion oi your valuable paper to also reply to “Dog’s Life’s.” letter. I wonder whether it is a. “He” or a “She” that is yeipmg; methinks it might be ’the “She” making the bullet and asking the “He” to fire it. Now, Sir, what would “Dog’s Life” be doing now if the National Government had been returnee, to power. He wouldn’t be getting 29/- per week or even 15/- per week. He would be handed a 71b. bag of salt and a reap hook to cut a bit of grass lor himselt; that would be his share lor the winter. “Dog s Life” must remember that the Labour Government has only been in power barely eight mouths. Wait for another eight months and things will be different. My advice to “Dog’s Life” is not to get on his hind legs, but crawl into his kennel and await better times, as better times surely will come. Then “Dog’s Lite” can get out of his kennel and get his mistress to let him loose. Ho can then wag his tail and go for it. Illis letter is a private one und has nothing to do with the Labour Party Branch in Hastings. 1 hanking you. Sir, lor allowing me space to voice my disapproval of “Dog’s Life’s” letter.—Yours, etc..
