CIRCULAR NO. 66.
Circular No. 60 issued by the Employers' Federation, end appearing in to-day's issue, discloses a lamentable shortsightedness on the part of its authors. It indicates' the raising of a special fund and a combination to keep Labour men out of Parliament. In older and wiser countries the employers of labour recognise that the best way to neutralise the efforts of extremists to disrupt society is to give a reasonable number of . them representation in the Legislative Assemblies. That is the way to check irresponsibility. A great deal of the present trouble arises because the workers under our defective electoral system, are not given a voice in the making of the laws. The way to check anarchism is to give responsibility. This is well indicated by the Australian precedent.
