Labour Party Policy
Sir, —The labour Party may have a bright new leader, but the theme of his first major policy speech for election year is as old and threadbare as a much-used back-door mat. They have shown right from the start that they are not capable of governing by the fact that they intend to appoint a Royal Commission to examine the taxation laws, something any Government should do itself. Then they intend to strangle the bank-
ing system by regulations through the Reserve Bank. The old, old system—State control, State planning, State direction, with an ever increasing army of inspectors. I think not. The ,>eople put up with all that nonsense for 14 years. We wish to go forward, not backward. It is taking the present Government long enough to shed the heavy coat of State control without the country taking on a second one.—Yours, etc., F.W.P.F. March 8, 1966.
