were given in my jirevious letter but “ .P h i lo c a l ls them “ vi.sionary ideas’ ’ having no conne.sion with facts. But lie hits got to remeinhcr tliat the .solution of the miomploynumt probleni lies in the main with -in ctrective increase in the pui'chasing power of the working-class. This is an


i.'conoiiiic necessity, Imt llte attaiument firings still furtlier problems. h’or iuy own part, however, I believe tliat tho ricli class’ of ]ieo|)le Avill Iiave to be heavily, and ilirectly


.’taxed if family allowances are to he paid and social services extended. Sucli an Act would increase the purchasing power of the workers and there would inuuediately n‘sult a greater demand for goods. And, morc- ov<“r, the distribution of wealth would be* a little more oven which again wiadd aid im­ provement in trade. At present tlie pur- cliasing power is seriously out of proportion with saving and the processes of wealth pro­

I’.C. Ilacon stated that at a.m. on

“ I am sorry.” Fjater in tlie morning lie visited Dugdale Farm, tenanted hy 'riiomas Hayes, who was askecl to show liis regi>ter of Hie moveiuenl of-animals. Tlie last entry was made in June, 15)27. Questioned as to movements of eaiile on or off the farm <!c- feiidaut said he hail moved lU) cows and 20


.slieep, and said llio reason ho had not en­ tered lliom was due to earelessiii'ss more lliau anytliing else. Hir diil, liowm’er, state that ho had ri*eorded llie movements in a small book, and tliesi* entries were found to ho eorreet. When M’orsaw Hill Farm, tenanted hy Thomas 'Hanson, was visited it wa.s found tliat the last entry was on August Idrli of this year. Hanson, however, ad­ mitted that lie had moved 22 sheep, two goats ami .seven cows since that dati*. and when ttild he would he repoitei] made no reply.


Ill n*ply to ^Ir. Weeks wilm*ss said Hial


all the slicep and cows not eniiTcd hy Mr. Coekslintt were fat stock removed to Clit- hei’oe .Vuelion ^larb for sale, and tliat CocU- slmtt had stated that lie wa.s under ilie im­ pression tliat it was not necessary to enter Mieh movements.
