ROUND-UP PROPOSED
PARASITIC ELEMENTS IN COMMUNITY
INTERESTS OF BRITAIN P.A. WELLINGTON, Dec. 4v A round-up of “spivs, spielers and bludgers ” in New Zealand and in Britain is proposed by the New Zealand Waterside Workers’ Union as an aid-to-Britain measure. Aid to Britain was discussed at the biennial conference of the union.
Mr H. Barnes, reporting the views of the conference, said: “ It is essential that we should do all we can to assist the British worker, who, after all, has never had enough. , As an immediate contribution to the improvement of the lot of the British people, we believe that Britain’s spivs, spielers and bludgers should be put to essential production. There are plenty of people of this kind in New Zealand, too, who are in non-productive work and earning fairly high incomes, who could well be put to useful employment., We also feel that a lot of people are using the Aid for Britain campaign as a cloak to attack workers conditions. Such attacks we will resist to the utmost.”
