A REMEDY FOR UNEMPLOYMENT.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —It was with a great deal of interest I read Mr Moss's letter and your editorial 'concerning it. It seems to nte Mr Moss and the other Labour leaders are always wanting " the other fellow" to do the trick every time. For example, I was in a shop not long ago in which a woman was at the counter ordering goods. Amongst other articles she ordered a package of goods put up by a very wellknown New Zealand manufacturer whose wares are - certainly very high class. To my amazement, the man at the counter persuaded her. to take a package, instead, of an' imported line, incidentally pocketing somewhere about 3d more profit. The point I want to make is this, Could not Mr Moss put his shoulder to the wheel and urge the Labour Council to persuade its members to. buy the goods they manufacture themselves? Personally, I think a . grocer insults a working man of New Zealand when he tells him that overseas goods are better all the time. "It ia simply, from the grocer's point of view, killing the goose thatlays the golden egg, If Labour would insist, throughout New Zealand, on being supplied with the goods the New Zealand workers themselves make, it would at once solve the problem of unemployment. I do not expect this will be done, Labourites being, in my experience, most remarkably shortsighted, and always wanting somebody to their troubles when they can so very often do so themselves.—l am, etc., Inteeested. Dim-din, April 1.
