I would ask liim a question: Supiio.se New Zealand had kept you out, llr. l'regear; where would you have been, to-day? Perhaps (amVnot 'much douhf: about it), still-in some dinsy London, office earning, your thirty- shillings a week with no further prospect ;before you, until they carried you; out. But wo let you in and you fell in the lap of luxury. You had for many years a nice Government billet, finding favour in the .sight of your master, the Into Jfr./ Sad'.lom You now enjoy a nice fat pension for the rest of your d;jys. .Wdl , none are grumbling. Not being satisfied, however, von now want to kick the ladder from under your feet' so that others from overseas, mar not be encouraged to come here and share sonic,of the good 'tilings that.-have fallen,-lo.ypu since you .came'to New Zealand.- Wliat% dog-in-the-manger spirit these so-called Labour cliam■pions do displaV j ! JVi ''H6w thankful the people of New Zealand oucrht to be that ive have such papers ,as The Dominion :to expose tliehi to public irnzp.—T-am. etc., ' ./..J , •• DISGUSTED.
