RISING COSTS
POSITION OF SUPERANUITANT
"I hope that the people of what f call the stand-still incomes; will not be neglected during this war," said Mr Sexton, M.P., in the Commons. "These people, who have no trade union behind them to demand higher wages, or pensions, or higher superannuation, are the widows, and the children of the widows, who cannot get any supplementation to their pensions. Another well-deserving class are the veterans of certain professions, who were superannuated quite a number of years ago when superannuation was very small. In my own profession, I know some of them who are living, or trying to live, on very meagre superannuation. Though now of little service to the country, they have given of their best in the past, and the cost of living is now rising so high that I hope they will not be forgotten along with the widows and the children of the stand-still incomes."
