REPLY TO “BOY WORKER.”

(To the Editor.) Sir, —“Boy AA’orker,” with a man’s cheek of immodest proportions, now poses as an expert on maladies. Physician heal thyself, take a course of cooling medicine, is my advice to him. He introduces personalities and extraneous matter which I have not discussed, such as the Lee episode, municipal elections, and plural voting at the Labour conference, displayinglamentable ignorance in regard to the latter. However, I have not been a|vpointed official spokesman for the Palmerston North branch of the Labour Party, and I am certainly not going to be drawn all over the political globe, not even to suit a “boy.” Newspaper space is valuable at the present time, and contentious correspondence especially political is most undesirable. as a united nation, not a politically rent one, is necessary for common defence. “Boy Worker’s” contemptible reference to* the social security legislation, in the face of world wide favourable opinion, stamps him as a very small boy with a diminutive outlook.—l am, etc.,- „ , AA 7 . F. CUTLER. Palmerston North. Except for ’“Boy AA’orker’s” right to reply to “Old Digger,” this correspondence is closed.
