RETRENCHMENT.
ft seems probable that the people of New Zealand will not have the opportunity of learning from the present Government the details of the 1 retrenchment policy which was so I ruthlessly applied by the Prime Min- ' ister last year. Neither will it be possible to ascertain what saving, if any, has been effected in the administration of the public affairs of the Dominion. -* is too true that numerous unfortunate Civil Servants have been thrown out of employment and that they arid tlieir families, in many instances, are in a condition of painful distress. Equally true is it that the salaries of many of the higher officials have been increased, and that many fresh appointments have been made to the Service. Sir Joseph Ward is maintaining an inexcusable reticence over the whole business, and the only apparent way in which the details of the transactions may be gleaned is to relegate the Government to obscurity.
