“VISION OF A GOLDEN AGE"
TO THE EDITOR Sir, —Mr P. C. Webb, Minister of Mines in the Labour Government, says “We want to lay the foundation of,a society ... in which every human personality is given a chance to flower in all its beauty.” According to a report in the Otago Daily Times of Wednesday, Mr R. Semple, Minister of Public Works in the Labour Party, has not only reached the flowering stage but is actually blooming. Thus, he says that an anonymous correspondent does not possess the “gizzard of a whitebait ” and that he is “ an emptyheaded coward and the quintessence of an unmitigated liar,” and so on. Then Mr Webb also took a part in the beauty of the flowering by telling Mr Semple to “ make it plain, Bob.” Here apparently is one approach to that vision of a golden age on which Mr Webb urges us to set our eyes.—l am, etc.. Dandelion.
