Mr. Savage Replies To Control Of Wages Suggestion
[Special to “Northern Advocate ”) WELLINGTON, This Day. - The cabled suggestion from London banking circles regarding the necessity for wage control in New Zealand was answered by the Prime Minister with a statement that “If we control prices we are controlling the necessity for increasing wages. That is a fundamental fact.” He added that those responsible for the raising of prices should understand •that there was machinery to provide that prices were not raised against those whose wages are expected for the time being to remain somewhere about the present point, but thero were numbers of people who had no reason to feel that the limit of increased wages had been mot, and whose demands could not be lightly set aside. “But, speaking generally, we have asked for stability on one hand between those who are controlling prices and those making demands for increased wages,” remarked Mr Savage.
