CREDITORS v. DEBTORS.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—While the Government is doing everything in its power to help the workers by shorter hours, higher wages, etc., nothing is being done to protect; certain professions against bad debts. For two years I have worked at a certain profession. Book debts soon, amounted up. Debt collectors, solicitors-, and Magistrate’s Court have all been tried in an endeavour to reduce the debts, but all in vain. The position now arises—what arc we to do to stop the practice of obtaining credit? Perhaps some abler pen than mine may be able to suggest something—perhaps a solicitor, doctor, dentist, or veterinarian, because these are a few of the professions requiring some form of guarantee of payment for their services. No Government department or the City Corporation will give credit: their policy is pay in advance, and if tlic client is unable to pay the next instalment ho has to go without, say, his telephone, radio, light, or gas.—l am, etc*., Pay Up. October 8.
