article in the may issue of readers digest has led us to do some thinking on the subject of government grants and bonuses the story in question was written by an exserviceman who has come to the

governments today including those in our own land have come to the conclusion that they must rush into social legislation in plain english this means arranging for handouts to the public in one form or another and all too often the gifts are sugarcoated and timed so skilfully that they amount to little short of bribes if one party starts into this game the rest are bound to follow and the result

assistance for the very poor the unhealthy and the aged the laws which provided for aid to the help less are but practical application of the christianity which we pro fess but there is something
