Subsidies To Farmers
Sir,—l have been reading the com-, plaint in your paper by a married man' who has been forced on to scrubcutting work. It is very hard .that married men should have to do this work, and the worst of it,is that,the; farmer, often a well-to-do farmer,; gets ihe benefit at anyone else’s expense. The Government is paying 75( per cent of the worker’s wages and presenting it to the farmer. We heard complaints during the slump, subsidising freezing works and so on, but then the subsidy was only 8 per cent, not 75 per cent.
MARRIED MAN.
