ONE MAN FOR TWO FULLTIME JOBS
.to tWM IDITOE p» r,a» PRESS. Sir,—l am glad that I have" had the opportunity to express my opinion on. this question, which I regard as of considerable importance, and I think I have met every point advanced by Mr Macfarlane’s friends, except the one advanced by Mr. C. Hepburn, that, as I do -hot know Mr Macfarlane. I cannot say whether he is qualified to fill the three billets of union secretary, Mayor, and member. If all the Dominion knew him, it would not give
him the fitness for the many positions he* wants to fill. To my mind, men with more experience and better endowed than Mr Macfarlane have declined to attempt similar tasks. When Sir James Parr was elected to Parliament he at onge resigned the Mayoralty of Auckland, saying that. he could not do justice to both positions. During the correspondence, a considerable number of people have expressed to me what they characterise as the absurdity of any man wanting to be Mayor of Christchurch and be in Wellington for more than half the year. —Yours, etc., ONE MAN, ONE JOB. September 21, 1938.
[This correspondence is now closed.— Ed., “The l?ress.”j
