SOCIAL SECURITY PROTEST
To The Editor Sir, —It was with surprise and amusement that one read your footnote to E.C.’s letter of yesterday. So the editor of The Southland Times is cooperating with the hysterical female Nationalists of Christchurch in thenattempt to create some agitation in Invercargill. Politics does make strange bed-mates.
Your paper is going to come just as big a thud over the Social Security Act as it has over the railway accounts, the Government housing, the import restrictions and many other successful Government activities. In view of the British Medical Association’s opposition, the Minister of Health has made a good start with his maternity benefits. Public opinion and time are right on his side. Those doctors who have dared to defy the reactionary medical profession will get all the public support they deserve. The boom business they will do will have a wonderful effect on the rest.—Yours, etc., BUTTONS. May 15, 1939.
