"WHAT LABOUR'S GOIN' TO DO"
Siv, —T beg to hand,you i»v version of "What Labour's Goin' to no" as under:Although you dress it up in veree, . I) Mr. Labour Jim, The body of your argument Is lamentably slim. For if tho list of measures which. . , You carefully compile Were longer than you make it # By a quarter of a mile, And if tho good results thereof ' Were ten times what they, are, It lias to be admitted that We've not got very far Along tho path,of progress Towards better days to come, Beyond the dirty thoroughfare Of alley and of slum. AVi! may have crawled a yard or so Along the proper track, j!.nt must not spend a year or so In quietly looking back. 0, James, I am ashamed of you, 'I'llere is bo far to go, And you would subtly inculcate The tactics of "go slow." Let us be up and doing, Jim, Don't leave it all to Bob And two or three who're backing him To do a tonghsh job. To bring ajwut the time, Jim, Before the world grows cold, When Labour in New Zealand Shall no more be bought and sold. -I am, etc., KUSTICUS. .
