PARTY ADMINISTRATION

Sir,—As the best Party only represents sectional interest which divides, the people; one group believing that it can get some advantage if more can be taken from another section of the people. Apart from this is the failure of the parties to get any worthwhile results for those particular sections they are supposed to represent. So the Party, supported by what may be called business interests has piled up taxation on every business enterprise until it has broken all records—and the only prospect offered is one of further taxation. After pinning their faith to one party or the other, most primary producers are more heavily put upon, and more insecure than ever about the marketing of their output. While after a period of “Labour Party” activity, the officio! statistics show that the average wage earner’s position is worse than it was 40 years ago; the buying power of. his wage has not increased, and the security of even drawing that wage is diminishing as mechanisation of farm, factory and mine proceeds. We need not look far to see the failure of these Parties. They all make the sarmsf excuse! The country is short of funds. Those who control those funds, therefore, control the Governments —whatever the Party label . . . that, being poor by payment of taxes, they may be under a necessity of becoming intent on a daily sustenance and be less ready to conspire against him (that rulies) Plato’s Republic. Yours etc., W. BRADSHAW.
