Labour Rule Dangers

Sir, — Please allow me small space in your columns to answer " Disgusted 's ' ' venomous epistle in yesterday's issue of your paper under the heading of "Dangers of Labour Rule." It i.s quite easily guessed from which quarter this cheap vapouring and " corrosive propa* ganda einanates, and also that its main ohject is to belittle our present good GoVerniiient and its housibg scheme. He refers to a coupie of sections and sub-sections of the Housing Act and glibly tries to misconstrue the real meaning of them. Then he hops off to an imaginary case before a judge and jury and what might come to pass if Labour is left in poweb long enough. I would advise ' ' Disgusted ' ' to pr epare, tighten his girdle-strap. and buckle on his Coat of mail, summon all his confederates aroUnd him and dish but VolUmes of this prOpaganda, for there is*to be an electicn in 12 ihonths, and I pfedict this good Labaur Govefnment Which has rescued Gbd's Own Country from the abyss and achieved so much Since comihg into pOWfer, "Will be returned again with a biggef majofity than ever. And why not? It is a government of the people, for the people, and with the people. "Disgusted" alSo fefefs tO the Labour Government as & hybrid of Conservative'Labour. Well) I never. With a dash Of Moscow thrown in. It's really funny, In conclusion, may I express an Opinion that from the tono and the nasty odour of " Disgusted 's " letter he might be a hybrid of the late lamented New Zealand Welfare Leagne, which died a nattural death and Was buried a little over two years ago. Thanking you, Mr Editor.— Yours, etc. "DISGUSTED AT DISGUSTED." Hastings, Dec. 10, 1937. [Letters to the Editor shouid deal with definite issues or policies.
