WAREHOUSE STAFFS
Sir, —I was amazed to read your report in this morning’s Daily Times on an interview with a wholesaler. Surely this man is a pessimist in every sense of the word —for a matter of sixpence in the pound, twenty-five (£25) on £IOOO, £250 on £IO,OOO, he threatens to discharge members of his staff. What a threat, especially when he has the audacity to threaten the returned serviceman and the rehabilitated man for whom he very likely receives a subsidy. I would like to ask him who kept the seas open for his goods during the war—the navy, which carried the goods? The merchant navy? Who drove the enemies back but the army and the air force? Otherwise the warehouseman and his kin might have been slaves to the enemy and not in the position to say who would be the victims of his shortsighted policy Why not build up his business, become an optimist, put the right spirit into his work, not count life by sixpences. Then everything he does will be a success.—l am etc., E. M. Sanders. Kew, July 5.
