The statement'points out that in the United Kingdom there is One civil servant to every 64 persons, and in New Zealand one to every 19. It would appear from statistics that more than 124,000 employees received tlieir salaries or Avages from the Government, national or local. For a country with a population of 1,688,000 this was an oppressive administrative burden, added the statement. ,»)
