WAGES AND PRICES
(To tln> JLMitor) Sir, —I cannot understand t lie concern of the Welfare League regarding your wasted space while they contribute 10 it so freely. It is further wastage to deny they said any such thing as "an increase in wages meant tin increase in prices.” Your readers are at liberty to check the following statement they made. "The elicit of imreased tost in production is an increase in prices.” This portion of their quotation they deliberately left out when trying to prove tiiev meant something else. The League have a "Site loves me, she loves me not” method of debating which leaves litem ;i back-door way of escape. The whole of their contribution was an effort to prove that increased wages would mean an increase in prices that would leave the worker no better off. M.V denial has met no better reply than they never said any such thing, so I am left with a bloodless victory and in a campaign that seems to be petering out. 1 am sorry in a way they did not put up it. better opposition as 1 bad quite a lot to say on litis subject of "wages and price.-.” but my intention is -not to take tlu initiative, lest 1 incur the disapproval of any of your readers. If there are no challengers, I am not socking a contest.--1 am. etc.. IK UN A MALI.
