THE NATIONAL PARTY'S POLICY
rO THE EDITOB Sir,—Reference by your correspondent "Interested" to the policy that may be produced by Mr Bodkin and his colleagues is indeed interesting. The policy to be pursued has already been suggested by Mr Bodkin, who in a speech at Pahiatua, stated that the first duty of the Government was to cut down expenses." Mr Bodkins party's idea of reducing expenses is to cut wages and salaries, put men off Public Works, and generally reduce the people to the scratch and scrape conditions which prevailed during its previous terms. The party has not yet learnt its lesson, and is prepared to repeat the colossal blunders of the past.—l am, etc., Douglas. May 27.
