CORRESPONDENCE.
THE WHEAT CORNER.
To the Editor. Sir,—Taking into consideration the oconoinic condition of the Old Country, the cabled news about the wheat corner by certain powerful interests there makes sorry reading when hundreds of thousands of the working classes are struggling t'or a crust. Is this what we are to expect from present-day civilisntion? And yet the cable described it as “ingenious enterprise.” What ingenuity is there about anything that will raise the price of the people’s daily bread to enrich greedy financier 0 . So fur there has not been much comment in New Zealand, except from the press. Where is the Welfare League that it does not raise its voice in defence of the rights of the peer of Hie Old Country. Perhaps it is too busy warning the postal officials not to join up with the Alliance ol' Labour to notice the big things that are happening on the other side of tho world. This corner business fills one with disgust. —I dm, etc., WORKER. Otaki, March 7th.
