AIR CUTLER’S LETTER.

(To tlie Editor.) Sir,—-It is quite obvious that Mr Cutler lias been stricken with that deadly malady “suspicion.” It seems now to he one of his chronic complaints, and he soothes his literary nerves with the aid of a dictionary, so that lie may be thought something in the midst of society. Ts this'because.the 1941 municipal election is in sight? He did not get a knock-out except from the Tories, so why did the workers, not support him at the 1938 election? T dare say he will be found inside the fold of the Democratic Labour Party. Air Cutler does not believe in plural voting, yet what would lie find if he took an interest in the industrial parliament in the Wellington Trades . Hall at the Easter Conference? He would find that there was plural voting, not a one man one vote policy, and the big industrial chiefs dismissed Air Lee because he advocated a one man one vote policy. AVill Air Cutler please explaiu why the Labour Conference adhered to that policy? He would he a wise man, 1 think, to keep quiet and wait patiently until Mr .T. A. Lee, ALP., meets tlie citizens of Palmerston North face to face. Then lie will get a fresh outlook, and feel that the social security medicine was only an election drug, prescribed bv a so-called Labour Government with industrial ideas. Air Lee knows where lie is and so docs every elector in New Zealand. When there is a fight he is in it. Mr Cutler should know that it was the working man’s vote that did not put him on the City Council, not the Tory or Conservative. The latter word is taken from the word conservation, which means preservation from loss, or injury, anything pertaining to the State or citizens’ welfare. As I am a modest person I sign mv self BOY WORKER. Tina letter has been condensed.
