LATE LOCALS.
As a result of a basket social held at Ivokatahi some time ago the build-
ing fund of the Westland Hospital has been augmented by the sum of £lO5 ss. The Social realised £47/17/- which the subsidy increased to the amount mentioned. Well done, Kokatahi and particularly tho energetic secretary, Mark Wallace. .“Gentlemen, all the schemes which promise high wages about relation to production are illusory—are mere will of the wisps,” remarked Mr C. P. Skerrett, lv.C., in his presidential address to the Welfare League Conforcnco at Wellington. “It does not matter,” he added, “whether the system is <apitistie, or Bolshevistic, or whether the industries are nationalised—there is a constant relationship between wages, or the standard of living and production. You cannot for any lengthened period and under normal conditions, under any system, have high wages or a high standard of comfort, unless it is reflected in the increased production of the country.”
