SUPERANNATION
EVIDENCE GIVEN.
(Per Press Association — Copyright.)
WELLINGTON, November 17
Evidence on behalf of the Post and TelegraphEmployees’ Association was placed before the 'Select .Committee on Superannuation to-day. The association takes the view that notwithstanding the default of the State in the past, there was no immediate cause for alarm. Even without a change in the present conditions, the fund can carry on for years to come, certainly long, enough to enable the country to recover from the depression and consequently allow the Government to increase its contribution and eventually overtake the liability. The Association requests that the Bill be not proceeded with, because (1) it is unnecessary (2) it is a breach of contract; (3) it will impose a hardship on those who have fulfilled their charge of the contract end (4) it will do immense damage to the prestige and good reputa? t-ion of New Zealand.
