THE 1928 COMMITTEE AND MR F. JONES.
TO THB EDITOR. Slßj—Mr F. Jones rather cleverly suggests - 8 Platform address that, the 1928 Committee is hostile to Government and municipal enterprise. It is to be regretted that he should have, allowed himself to. make a misleading statement to the effect that this organisation is out to restrict State and local body trading. The 1928 Committee has no objection to such activities, but it' does most vigorously object to unfair conditions. Private enterprise says to j,he State-and the municipality “we have no objection to your competition, provided you pay the same taxation as we do, and provided you enjoy only the same rights, and privileges as the private trader, no more and no less.” Surely this demand is strictly in accordance' with British, fair play, and I am surprised that. Mr Jones, who must know all about the doings of. the 1928 Committee, should have allowed himself, by an electioneering dodge, “to make, that to appear.which is not.”—l am, etc., 1928. ■
