LABOUR’S PROMISES.
(To the Editor.) Sir,—Mr Christenson in his letter in your issue of the 10th inst. endeavoured to make a strong point of Mr MurRhy’s ivonderfu.l attainments, and that lie was only 35 years old, but Mr Christensen must know that there arc quite a number of men who can talk their way into such positions lie mentions but lack practical experience when it comes to putting their theories into actual practice. Without civic experience Mr Murphy could hardly expect the electors to take him on trust. Moreover, Mr Murphy, being only 35 years old, is bound to be called up for military service in tbc near future and this would put the citizens to the expense of a fresh election if he were chosen. I think Private Christensen has slipped here as he should be doing his best to recruit Mr Murphy as a comrade in arms and comrado should sound very pleasingly in Private Christenson’s ears; but the joke of Mr Christensen’s letter is the last sentence. “Labour always keeps its promises.” What a “beauty” to put across your intelligent readers. — I am, etc.,
G. W. ARLIDGE. 26 King Street, 13/5/41.
