Thoughts For The Times
Mil Massey’s Financial Adility
On the expenditure side of the accounts, (says the Lyttelton Times in discussing the country’s finances) there •is nothing to record but tho continual increase in the Departmental expenditure which seems to be accepted by the Finance Minister as a permanent condition. The average increase is now nearly. as much in a month as it used to be in a year—we are not talking ancient history ,either, but are referring to the time when Sir Joseph Ward was Minister of Finance in the National Government. We wish to be fair and charitable, and we take it that Mr Massey is managing the public finances to the best of his ability, but we are sorry for the taxpayers of the Dominion.
