silent— the Middle-Class people— the discharged and surplus clerks, officegirls, nurses and shop-girls. Different Church Societies are doing all they can, and Clergymen say that constant appeals come every day and because they are also' hit by tho general slump, they cannot afford lv do much. They say that there is going to be a great migration over to 'New Zealand and America. Every boat that leaves these shores is searched, and many lake "jumping "rides" on the Railways. Beggars are everywhere, sundowners and swaggers, and it is said that they make more by begging than any other way. Now that Spring is here, the swaggers and sundowneio prefer the free and easy life and' expect the farmers and others to provide food for them. I am enclosing a rather patronizing report on the New Zealand team. It appears that they must learn a lot from the Aussies bciore they understand the game of football. There is a great cry-out about Australian apples being rejected by the Home Markets, whilst they. bought the New Zealand fruit and the papers say that what can Australia expect if they employ aliens and Dagoes m their factories, who have no national pride and no desire to see Australia put well and truly on the map. There are agitators in^every FarK, railing against Religion, Parliament and American and Jewish money and employers are running most of the concerns. , Mr Scullin is. ill with worry and has not appeared m Public. He - 1» looking forward to the peace and quiet of the trip Home. v The papers still rage against pooi Amy Johnston taking away both the money and the presents they gave her, instead of giving them back either to the Hospitals or to help the Unemployed. . "Why," they ask, "should we make a fuss over a girl who was a Grab-all, a Go-getter and after. all only the daughter of a fisherman?" They fed, petted and flattered her, and now 1 her name is "Mud". ; Looking forward tq>eeing v my native country and my own home town. Best Wishes from THE WANDERER.
