EMPLOYERS' PATRIOTISM.
To the Editor. Sir,—l understand the Government has issued a manifesto to employers asking them not to employ single men if possible who are fit for active service. How is it the Taranaki Petroleum Company, with an M.P. on its directorate, takes no heed of this? They have just appointed a single man to take the manager's place (who is away for health purposes) and overlook married men with large families who are just as competent. Again, we have in our midst another oil company who are employing alien subjects, just making another start boring because the Government has lent them money. This is a nice state of tilings.—using the people's mouey to pay enemy subjects' wages when our best and brightest are lighting for our esist? enee. I hope that when Parliament meets some of Taranaki's M'sP. will rap the Government over the knuckles for their action. I am not asking the local member of Parliament to take any action, because I know he is such a hard political fighter that it would distress him So—l am, etc., FAIR PLAY.
