NATIONALISATION.
In a letter to a London newspaper Mr. J. S. Hayes, who worked in the New Zealand ( coal mines some years ago in order, as he says, "to gain experience, "remarks:—
"My opinion is that nationalisation of coal mines will lead to nationalisation of inefficient mining, which is directly opposed to Mr, Smillie's opinion. To the best of my. knowledge, nationalisation was ' not demanded by the miners in general till it was preached by their leaders, who stand to gain by its advent. "VVhos, then, ia nationalisation to* benefit—the nation, the miners, or the miners' leaders? Should • the miners head only, one aide of tjhe question f Why not arrange to present both sides to them! /Before committing ourselves to such & gamble as the nationalisation of mines, let us consider carefully New Zealand's verdict after fifteen years' experience of State mining."
