Every householder desires the right and privilege of being able to choose from a variety of goods or merchandise. This privilege belongs to all under peacetime conditions, in this Dominion. But such a privilege is something to be suppressed when the Trades Hall Dictators get a bit further along with their programme of State socialism. The socialists have a horror of competition in business, of variety in manufacture, and freedom of choice.

The writing on the wall is plain for all to see. Every month or two the Socialist Dictators try to get a tighter grip on the liberties of the private citizen and the business man, and the determination of the Government to take over the Bank of New Zealand is just one more step in the process. When the State can say to the public, "Now you must* bank with the State Bank whether you want to or not," they will also be in a position to say, "Buy what we tell you to buy." or "Think what we tell you to think."

It is all happening here . and now. and New Zealanders should sit.up and take notice —and take action.

With political banking control, and a Labour newspaper spouting their propaganda day by day, the State Socialists who sit in the seats of the mighty will have the power to fulfil their dream of commonplace monotony and uniformity for everybqdy —except themselves. New Zealanders should rebel against any further encroachments upon their liberty—the freedom for which the sons of New Zealand have been fighting for over five years. —P.B.A.
