UNDESRVED EMPLOYMENT

To The Editor.

Sir, —Have I any right to expect employment at a job when I tell my employers that I do not know anything about it? If I stood for Parliament and told the electors that I did not know what was the cause of this depression, would the electors be justified in electing me? Yet at the Southland League’s Dinner the other day, after a good “tuck-in,” Mr Adam Hamilton told his hearers and the readers of the newspapers that he did not know what was the cause of this depression.

But he, along with some others, expect to be returned at next election and travel about this country well clad, with their hands in the pockets of their warm overcoats, spending the cold, bleak months of winter in Wellington helping to pass legislation which by the dictation of Sir Otto Earnst Niemeyer, will deprive this nation’s childhood of the right of wearing boots.—l am, etc., FARMER’S WIFE. [Our correspondent should remember that many of the great financial experts and economists disagree as to the causes of the depression. Often people who glibly declare they know the causes and have cures, really know least.—Ed. S.T.]
