A STRENUOUS YEAR
TO THE EDITOB Sir,—l would like to add a few pointed truths to the statements of your correspondent "Save Me from My Friends," with reference to the overstaffing at Hillside workshops. 1 am speaking now as a former employee, and can truthfully bear out all that your correspondent writes. I can assure you that private enterprise would cut down the present staff by half and then get all the results required. The trouble is that all Government departments are in the same state of gross over-staffing. I ask where the world would be if we cut out private enterprise. Thank Providence I had a conscience and resigned myself. One has nothing but disgust at the present loitering and gross waste of valuable time at Hillside. Really it is a shame to take the money. What we want is a Winston Churchill here to get things moving properly. At the present time the Labour Party does not seem, on the face of things, to be overburdened with brains of the right description.— I am. etc., Pro Bono Publico. January 14.
